أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا، أَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ، نَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ، أَنَا زَكَرِيَّا، عَنْ عَامِرٍ،
قَالَ: جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى عُمَرَ، فَقَالَتْ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، إِنِّي وَجَدْتُ صَبِيًّا وَوَجَدْتُ مَعَهُ قُبْطِيَّةً فِيهَا مِائَةُ دِينَارٍ، فَأَخَذْتُهُ وَاسْتَأْجَرْتُ لَهُ ظِئْرًا، وَإِنَّ أَرْبَعَ نِسْوَةٍ يَأْتِينَهُ فَيُقَبِّلْنَهُ لَا أَدْرِي أَيُّهُنَّ أُمُّهُ، فَقَالَ لَهَا: " إِذَا هُنَّ أَتَيْنَكَ فَأَعْلِمْينِي "، فَفَعَلْتُ، فَقَالَ لِامْرَأَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ: " أَيَّتُكُنَّ أُمُّ هَذَا الصَّبِيِّ؟ " فَقَالَتْ: وَاللهِ مَا أَحْسَنْتَ وَلَا أَجْمَلْتَ يَا عُمَرُ، تَعَمَدُ إِلَى امْرَأَةٍ سَتَرَ اللهُ عَلَيْهَا فَتُرِيدُ أَنْ تَهْتِكَ سِتْرَهَا، قَالَ: " صَدَقْتِ "، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ: " إِذَا أَتَيْنَاكِ فَلَا تَسْأَلِيهِنَّ عَنْ شَيْءٍ وَأَحْسِنِي إِلَى صَبِيِّهِنَّ " ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ

He said: A woman came to ʿUmar and said: "O Commander of the Believers, I found a baby boy, and with him I found a Coptic cloth containing one hundred dinars. So I took him and hired a wet nurse for him. Four women come to him and kiss him, and I do not know which of them is his mother." He said to her: "When they come to you, let me know." So I did. Then he said to one of the women: "Which of you is the mother of this boy?" She said: "By God, you have not done well, nor done what is fine, O ʿUmar! You go to a woman whom God has screened and you wish to tear away her screen." He said: "You have spoken the truth." Then he said to the woman: "When they come to you, do not ask them about anything, and treat their boy well." Then he departed.
