Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-1449b
"عن قتادة عن الحسن أنَّ رجلين وطِئَا جاريةً في طهر واحد، فَجَاءَتْ بغلامٍ، فَارْتَفَعا إلى عمر فدعا له ثلاثةً من القَافةِ، فاجتمعوا على أنه أخذَ الشبهَ منهما جميعا، وكان عُمر قائفًا يقوف، فقال: قد كَانَتْ الكَلْبَةُ يَنزُو عَلَيْها الكَلْبُ الأسْودُ والأَصْفَرُ والأحْمَر فتؤَدى إلى كُلِّ كلب شَبَهَهُ، ولم أكُنْ أَرَى هذا فِى النَّاسِ حتى رأيت هذا، فجعله عُمرُ لَهُمَا يَرِثَانِهِ ويَرِثُهُمَا، وَهُوَ لِلْبَاقِى مِنْهُمَا".

"On the authority of Qatadah, on the authority of al-Hasan, that two men had intercourse with a slave girl in one period of purity, and she bore a boy. They went up to 'Umar, who summoned three physiognomists for him. They agreed that he had taken the resemblance of both of them together. 'Umar was a physiognomist who practised it, and he said: The female dog was mounted by a black dog, a yellow dog and a red dog, and the offspring resembled each dog. I did not see this among people until I saw this case. So 'Umar made him an heir of both of them, and they inherit from him, and he belongs to whichever of them remains."
