أَخْبَرَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ الْحِمْصِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ حِمْصِيٌّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الزِّنَادِ مِمَّا حَدَّثَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَعْرَجُ مِمَّا ذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ
يُحَدِّثُهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ وَقَالَ بَيْنَمَا امْرَأَتَانِ مَعَهُمَا ابْنَاهُمَا جَاءَ الذِّئْبُ فَذَهَبَ بِابْنِ إِحْدَاهُمَا فَقَالَتْ هَذِهِ لِصَاحِبَتِهَا إِنَّمَا ذَهَبَ بِابْنِكِ وَقَالَتِ الْأُخْرَى إِنَّمَا ذَهَبَ بِابْنِكِ فَتَحَاكَمَتَا إِلَى دَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَقَضَى لِلْكُبْرَى فَخَرَجَتَا عَلَى سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلَامُ فَأَخْبَرَتَاهُ فَقَالَ ائْتُونِي بِالسِّكِّينِ أَشُقُّهُ بَيْنَهُمَا فَقَالَتِ الصُّغْرَى لَا تَفْعَلْ يَرْحَمُكَ اللهُ هُوَ ابْنُهَا فَقَضَى بِهِ لِلصُّغْرَى قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ وَاللهِ إِنْ سَمِعْتُ بِالسِّكِّينِ قَطُّ إِلَّا يَوْمَئِذٍ وَمَا كُنَّا نَقُولُ إِلَّا الْمُدْيَةَ

✧ He narrated to him from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he said, 'While two women were with their two sons, a wolf came and took the son of one of them. The other said to her companion, "It took your son." The other said, "It took your son." They took their dispute to Dawud, ﷺ, and he ruled in favor of the older. They went out to Sulayman b. Dawud, peace be upon them, and told him. He said, "Bring me a knife so that I may split him between you." The younger said, "Do not do it, may Allah have mercy on you. He is her son." So he ruled in favor of the younger. Abu Hurayrah said, "By Allah, I never heard of a knife except on that day, and we used to call it a mudyah."
