[Machine] "That Ali was among three people when they were in Yemen, they had a joint child and they drew lots to determine the father. The one who drew the lot was responsible for two-thirds of the blood money and he became the father of the child. Zaid bin Arqam said, 'I went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him about Ali's situation.' The Prophet ﷺ laughed until his molars were visible."  

أحمد:١٩٣٤٤حَدَّثَنَا سُرَيْجُ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ أَخْبَرَنَا الْأَجْلَحُ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الْخَلِيلِ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ

أَنَّ عَلِيًّا أُتِيَ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ نَفَرٍ إِذْ كَانَ بِالْيَمَنِ اشْتَرَكُوا فِي وَلَدٍ فَأَقْرَعَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَضَمِنَ الَّذِي أَصَابَتْهُ الْقُرْعَةُ ثُلُثَيِ الدِّيَةِ وَجَعَلَ الْوَلَدَ لَهُ قَالَ زَيْدُ بْنُ أَرْقَمَ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِقَضَاءِ عَلِيٍّ فَضَحِكَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ
