ahmad:23755Ismāʿīl > ʿUthmān al-Battī > ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd b. Salamah from his father from his grandfather

his parents referred their dispute to the Prophet ﷺ, and one of them was a disbeliever. He (the Prophet ﷺ) said: “O Allah, guide him,” and he turned towards the Muslim, and he ruled that he should go with that parent. (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2352)  

أحمد:٢٣٧٥٥حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ الْبَتِّيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ

أَنَّ أَبَوَيْهِ اخْتَصَمَا فِيهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَأَحَدُهُمَا مُسْلِمٌ وَالْآخَرُ كَافِرٌ فَخَيَّرَهُ فَتَوَجَّهَ إِلَى الْكَافِرِ مِنْهُمَا فَقَالَ اللهُمَّ اهْدِهِ فَتَوَجَّهَ إِلَى الْمُسْلِمِ فَقَضَى لَهُ بِهِ

"عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَنَّ أَبَوَيهِ اخْتَصَمَا فِيهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَحَدُهُمَا مُسْلِمٌ، والآخَرُ كَافِرٌ، فَخيرَهُ، فَرَدَّهُ إِلَى الْكَافِرِ فَقَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِهِ فَتَوَجَّهَ إِلَى المسلِمِ، فَقَضَى لَهُ بِهِ".
