حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ثنا مُسَدَّدٌ ثنا خَالِدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ عَنْ عَامِرٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ حَضْرَمَوْتَ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ

أَنَّ عَلِيًّا ؓ كَانَ بِالْيَمَنِ فَأَتَاهُ ثَلَاثَةٌ يَتَنَازَعُونَ فِي وَلَدٍ كُلُّهُمْ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ ابْنُهُ فَخَلَا بِاثْنَيْنِ فَقَالَ «أَتَطِيبَانِ نَفْسًا لِهَذَا بِالْوَلَدِ؟» قَالَا لَا ثُمَّ خَلَا بِاثْنَيْنِ فَقَالَ لَهُمَا مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَا لَا فَقَالَ «أَرَاكُمَ شُرَكَاءَ مُتَشَاكِسُونَ وَأَنَا مُقْرِعٌ بَيْنَكُمْ» فَأَقْرَعَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَجَعَلَ الْوَلَدَ لِلَّذِي أَصَابَتْهُ الْقُرْعَةُ وَغَرَّمَهُ ثُلُثَيِ الدِّيَةِ لِلْبَاقِينَ

✧ Ali ؓ was in Yemen when three men came to him disputing about a child, each claiming it was his son. He was alone with two of them and said, 'Would you be content to give the child to this one?' They said, 'No.' Then he was alone with two of them and said to them the like of that, and they said, 'No.' He said, 'I see you are obstinate partners, so I will draw lots among you.' He drew lots among them and made the child belong to the one whom the lot struck, and he charged him two-thirds of the blood money for the remaining two.
