"عن عبيد اللَّه بن أَبى يزيد عن أبيه قال: أرسل عمر إلى رجل من زُهْرَةَ وَهُوَ فِى الْحِجْرِ وَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ الْجَاهلِيَّةَ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ وِلَاد مِنْ وِلَادِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَقالَ: أَمَّا النُّطفَةُ فَمِنْ فُلانٍ، وَأَمَّا الْولَدُ فَعَلَى فِرَاشِ فُلَانٍ، فقال عمر: صَدَقَ، وَلَكِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّه قَضَى "الْوَلَدُ لِلفِرَاشِ، فلَمَّا أَدْبَرَ الرَّجُلُ دَعَاهُ عُمَرُ قَالَ: أَخْبِرْنَا عَنْ بِنَاء الْكَعْبَة، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ قُرَيْشًا () تقوَّتِ لِبِنَاءِ الْكَعْبَةِ فَعَجزوا عَنْ بَقِيَّتها وَاستعصى قافسوا ( ) وَتَركُوا بَعْضَهَا فِى الْحِجْرِ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: صَدَقَ".

"'Ubayd Allah ibn Abi Yazid narrated from his father: 'Umar sent for a man from Zuhrah who was in al-Hijr and had reached the Jahiliyyah, and he asked him about one of the children of the Jahiliyyah. He said: 'As for the seed, it is from so-and-so, and as for the child, it is on the bed of so-and-so.' 'Umar said: 'He is right, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ decided: The child belongs to the bed.' When the man turned to leave, 'Umar called him back and said: 'Tell us about the building of the Ka'bah.' He said: 'Quraysh gathered funds for the building of the Ka'bah but fell short, and they could not complete it, and left part of it in al-Hijr.' 'Umar said: 'He is right.'"
