وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ رُشَيْدٍ، ثَنَا أَبُو تُمَيْلَةَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ:
ادَّعَى نَصْرُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ رَبَاحٍ مَوْلَى خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ، فَقَامَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ فَقَالَ: مَوْلَايَ، وُلِدَ عَلَى فِرَاشٍ أَبِي. فَقَالَ نَصْرٌ: أَخِي، هُوَ وَبَنَاتِي بِمَنْزِلَةٍ. قَالَ: فَطَالَتْ خُصُومَتُهُمْ، فَدَخَلُوا عَلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ وَفِهْرٌ تَحْتَ رَأْسِهِ، فَادَّعَيَا. فَقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ ؓ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: « الْوَلَدُ لِلْفِرَاشِ، وَلِلْعَاهِرِ الْحَجَرُ ». قَالَ نَصْرٌ: فَأَيْنَ قَضَاؤُكَ هَذَا يَا مُعَاوِيَةُ فِي زِيَادٍ ؟ فَقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ: قَضَاءُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ خَيْرٌ مِنْ قَضَاءِ مُعَاوِيَةَ. قَالَ: فَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ رَبَاحٍ لَا يُجِيبُ نَصْرًا إِلَى مَا ادَّعَاهُ، فَقَالَ نَصْرٌ: أَبَا خَالِدٍ مَا مِثْلُ مَالٍ وَرِثْتَهُ وَخُذْنِي أَخًا عِنْدَ الْفِرَاشِ شَاهِدَا أَبَا خَالِدٍ مَالِي ثَرِيٌّ وَمَنْصِبٌ شَيْءٌ وَأَعْرَاقٌ تَهُزُّكَ صَاعِدَا أَبَا خَالِدٍ لَا تَجْعَلَنَّ بَنَاتِنَا إِمَاءً لِمَخْزُومٍ وَكُنْ مُتَوَاجِدَا أَبَا خَالِدٍ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَخْشَى ابْنَ خَالِدٍ فَلَمْ يَكُنِ الْحَجَّاجُ يَرْهَبُ خَالِدًا أَبَا خَالِدٍ لَا نَحْنُ نَارٌ وَلَا هُمْ جِنَانٌ رَعَتْ فِيهَا الْعُيُونُ رَوَاكِدَا.

✧ Nasr b. al-Hajjaj claimed 'Abd Allah b. Rabah, the freedman of Khalid b. al-Walid. Then 'Abd al-Rahman b. Khalid b. al-Walid stood up and said: 'My freedman; he was born on my father's bed.' Nasr said: 'My brother; he and my daughters are in the same position.' He said: Their dispute grew long, so they entered upon Mu'awiyah while Fihr was under his head, and they both claimed him. Mu'awiyah ؓ said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "The child belongs to the bed, and the fornicator gets the stone."' Nasr said: 'Where is this judgment of yours, O Mu'awiyah, regarding Ziyad?' Mu'awiyah said: 'The judgment of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is better than the judgment of Mu'awiyah.' He said: 'Abd Allah b. Rabah would not respond to Nasr's claim. So Nasr said: 'O Abu Khalid, there is no wealth like one you inherit, so take me as a brother at the bed as a witness. O Abu Khalid, my wealth is abundant and my standing is something, and my roots will make you rise ever higher. O Abu Khalid, do not make our daughters slaves to Makhzum, and be generous. O Abu Khalid, if you fear Ibn Khalid, al-Hajjaj did not fear Khalid. O Abu Khalid, we are not fire nor are they gardens where eyes graze, calm.'
