[Machine] "Narrated by the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , that two women had a dispute over the remaining child after one of their sons was eaten by a wolf. They came to Dawood (David), ﷺ , for judgment, and he ruled in favor of the elder woman. When they went to Sulayman (Solomon), ﷺ , he asked them about how Dawood ruled between them. They informed him, and he said, 'Bring me a knife.' Abu Hurayrah said, 'I was the first to hear that the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , called the knife a mediyah.' The younger one asked why he wanted a knife. He said, 'To cut the child in half and give each of you one part.' She said, 'Give him to her,' while the elder one said, 'No, divide him between us.' So he ruled in favor of the younger woman, and he said, 'If he were your son, you would not be pleased to have him cut in half.'"
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّ امْرَأَتَيْنِ أَكَلَ أَحَدَ ابْنَيْهِمَا الذِّئْبُ فَجَاءَتَا إِلَى دَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ تَخْتَصِمَانِ فِي الْبَاقِي فَقَضَى لِلْكُبْرَى فَلَمَّا خَرَجَتَا عَلَى سُلَيْمَانَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ قَالَ كَيْفَ قَضَى بَيْنَكُمَا؟ فَأَخْبَرَتَاهُ فَقَالَ ائْتُونِي بِالسِّكِّينِ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ وَأَوَّلُ مَنْ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ السِّكِّينُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّمَا كُنَّا نُسَمِّيهِ الْمُدْيَةَ قَالَتِ الصُّغْرَى لِمَ؟ قَالَ لِأَشُقَّهُ بَيْنَكُمَا قَالَتِ ادْفَعْهُ إِلَيْهَا وَقَالَتِ الْكُبْرَى شُقَّهُ بَيْنَنَا قَالَ فَقَضَى لِلصُّغْرَى وَقَالَ لَوْ كَانَ ابْنَكِ لَمْ تَرْضَيْ أَنْ تَشُقِّيهِ
