قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الْحَفَرِيُّ عُمَرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ: أَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ الرَّبَذِيِّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ الْقُرَظِيِّ قَالَ:
إِنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ تَزَوَّجَ ابْنَةَ عَمٍّ لَهُ، فَوَلَدَتْ لَهُ جَارِيَةً، فَمَاتَ عَنْهَا، فَخَلَفَ عَلَيْهَا رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ. فَقَالَ أَوْلِيَاؤُهَا: لَا نَدَعُ ابْنَتَنَا تَكُونُ عِنْدَهُمْ. فَاخْتَصَمُوا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَقَالَتِ الْأُمُّ: أَنَا الْحَامِلُ الْحَاضِنُ وَالْمُرْضِعُ، فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: « مَنْ تَخْتَارِينَ ؟ » فَقَالَتْ: أَخْتَارُ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَدَارَ الْإِيمَانِ، وَالْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارَ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: « لَا تَذْهَبُوا بِهَا مَا دَامَتْ عَيْنِي تَكْلَؤُهَا، وَلَأَنْ بَقِيتُ لَأَضَعَنَّهَا مَوْضِعًا يُقِرُّ عَيْنَهَا ». قَالَ: فَاخْتَصَمُوا إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ، فَقَالَ لَهَا: مَنْ تَخْتَارِينَ ؟ فَقَالَتْ مِثْلَ الْقَوْلِ الْأَوَّلِ، فَقَضَى بِهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ لِلْأَوْلِيَاءِ، فَقَامَ بِلَالٌ ؓ فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ... فَقَضَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ بِمَا قَضَى بِهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ

✧ A man from the desert married his cousin, and she bore him a girl, then he died leaving her. A man from the Ansar married her (the widow). Her guardians said: We will not leave our daughter with them. They brought the dispute to the Prophet ﷺ. The mother said: I am the one who carried her, the one who is entitled to custody, and the one who breastfeeds. The Messenger of God ﷺ said to her: "Whom do you choose?" She said: I choose God and His Messenger and the abode of faith, and the Muhajirun and the Ansar. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: "Do not take her away as long as my eye watches over her, and if I remain, I will place her in a position that will delight her eye." He said: Then they brought the dispute to Abu Bakr ؓ, and he said to her: "Whom do you choose?" She said the same as the first statement. Abu Bakr ؓ ruled in favor of the guardians. Bilal ؓ stood up and said: "O Abu Bakr..." Then Abu Bakr ؓ ruled as the Messenger of God ﷺ had ruled.
