[Machine] That his grandfather accepted Islam during the time of the Prophet ﷺ, but his grandmother did not accept Islam. He had a son from her, and they both had a dispute that they took to the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ said to them, "If you wish, I will decide between you and choose the boy." He sat the father on one side and the mother on the other side, and he chose the boy. Then the boy went towards his mother, and the Prophet ﷺ said, "O Allah, guide him." He then returned to his father.

أَنَّ جَدَّهُ أَسْلَمَ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَمْ تُسْلِمْ جَدَّتُهُ وَلَهُ مِنْهَا ابْنٌ فَاخْتَصَمَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنْ شِئْتُمَا خَيَّرْتُمَا الْغُلَامَ قَالَ وَأَجْلَسَ الْأَبَ نَاحِيَةًوَالْأُمَّ نَاحِيَةً فَخَيَّرَهُ فَانْطَلَقَ نَحْوَ أُمِّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اللهُمَّ اهْدِهِ قَالَ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى أَبِيهِ
