حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعُ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ
أَنَّ امْرَأَةً مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ كَانَتْ عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي عَمِّهَا، فَمَاتَ عَنْهَا فَتَزَوَّجَهَا رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَجَاءَ بَنُو عَمِّ الْجَارِيَةِ فَقَالُوا: [إِنَّا آخِذُو] [١]ابْنَتَنَا، قَالَتْ: إِنِّي أَنْشُدُكُمُ اللهَ أَنْ تُفَرِّقُوا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ ابْنَتِي، فَأَنَا الْحَامِلُ وَأَنَا الْمُرْضِعُ، وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ أَخْيَرَ لِقُرْبِ ابْنَتِي مِنِّي، فَأَبَوْا، فَقَالَتْ: مَوْعِدُكُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، ثُمَّ قَالَتْ [٢]: إِذَا خَيَّرَكِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُولِي: أَخْتَارُ اللهَ وَالْإِيمَانَ وَدَارَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَا تَذْهَبُونَ بِهَا مَا بَقِيَتْ عُنُقِي فِي مَكَانِهَا، وَجَاؤُوا إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَقَضَى لَهُمْ بِهَا فَقَالَ بِلَالٌ: يَا خَلِيفَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ، شَهِدْتُ هَؤُلَاءِ النَّفَرَ وَهَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ اخْتَصَمُوا فَقَضَى بِهَا لِأُمِّهَا، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: وَأَنَا وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لَا تَذْهَبُوا [٣]بِهَا مَا دَامَتْ عُنُقِي فِي مَكَانِهَا، فَدَفَعَهَا إِلَى أُمِّهَا

A woman from the desert people was married to a man from her paternal cousins, and he died leaving her. A man from the Ansar then married her. The paternal cousins of the girl came and said: "We will take our daughter." She said: "I beseech you by Allah not to separate me from my daughter, for I am the one who carries her and the one who nurses her, and no one is more entitled to my daughter than I am." They refused, so she said: "Your appointment is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." Then she said: "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gives you the choice, say: I choose Allah, faith, and the abode of the Muhajirun and the Ansar." The Prophet ﷺ said: "By Him in whose hand my soul is, you will not take her away as long as my neck remains in its place." They came to Abu Bakr and he ruled for her. Bilal said: "O Successor of the Messenger of Allah, I witnessed these men and this woman before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when they disputed, and he ruled for her with her mother." Abu Bakr said: "By Him in whose hand my soul is, I too say: do not take her away as long as my neck remains in its place," and he gave her to her mother.
