Bayhaqi 21282 — One who said lots are drawn between them when there

وَالْمَشْهُورُ فِي هَذَا الْبَابِ مَا: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْفَقِيهُ، أنبأ أَبُو الْمُثَنَّى، ثنا مُسَدَّدٌ، ثنا يَحْيَى، عَنِ الْأَجْلَحِ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْخَلِيلِ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، إِذْ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ ثَلَاثَةَ نَفَرٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ أَتَوْا عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ يَخْتَصِمُونَ إِلَيْهِ فِي وَلَدٍ، وَقَدْ وَقَعُوا عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ فِي طُهْرٍ وَاحِدٍ، فَقَالَ لِلِاثْنَيْنِ مِنْهُمَا: طَيِّبَا بِالْوَلَدِ لِهَذَا، فَغَلَبَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلِاثْنَيْنِ: طَيِّبَا بِالْوَلَدِ لِهَذَا، فَغَلَبَا، فَقَالَ: أَنْتُمْ شُرَكَاءُ مُتَشَاكِسُونَ، إِنِّي مُقْرِعٌ بَيْنَكُمْ، فَمَنْ قَرَعَ فَلَهُ الْوَلَدُ، وَعَلَيْهِ لِصَاحِبَيْهِ ثُلُثَا الدِّيَةِ، فَأَقْرَعَ بَيْنَهُمْ، فَجَعَلَهُ لِمَنْ قَرَعَ، فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ أَضْرَاسُهُ، أَوْ قَالَ: نَوَاجِذُهُ. أَخْرَجَهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ فِي كِتَابِ السُّنَنِ، عَنْ مُسَدَّدٍ، وَكَذَلِكَ رَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ الْكُوفِيُّ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ مَتْرُوكٌ، وَالْأَجْلَحُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَدْ رَوَى عَنْهُ الْأَئِمَّةُ الثَّوْرِيُّ وَابْنُ ⦗٤٥١⦘ الْمُبَارَكِ وَيَحْيَى بْنُ الْقَطَّانِ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَحْتَجَّ بِهِ الشَّيْخَانِ الْبُخَارِيُّ وَمُسْلِمٌ، وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْخَلِيلِ يَنْفَرِدُ بِهِ، وَاخْتُلِفَ عَلَيْهِ فِي إِسْنَادِهِ وَرَفْعِهِ..
Sayyiduna Zayd bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I was with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when a man came from Yemen and said that a group of three men from Yemen came to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) with a dispute about a child; they had had intercourse with a woman in a single period of purity. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) spoke to two of them, but they remained adamant; then he spoke to the others, and they too were adamant. So Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "You are equal partners; I will cast lots between you. The one whose name the lot falls on will have the child, and he will owe his companions two-thirds of the blood money (diyah)." So he decided between them by casting lots, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) laughed until his molars showed.
Muhammad bin Salim al-Kufi also narrated it likewise from al-Sha'bi, and Muhammad bin Salim is matruk (abandoned). As for al-Ajlah bin Abdullah, although the imams al-Thawri, Ibn al-Mubarak and Yahya bin al-Qattan narrated from him, the two Shaykhs, al-Bukhari and Muslim, did not use him as evidence. Abdullah bin al-Khalil is alone in narrating it, and there is disagreement about him regarding its chain and whether it is traced back to the Prophet.
