[Machine] Ali came with three men while he was in Yemen. They encountered a woman in a state of ritual purity, so Ali asked the two men, "Do you both testify to the paternity of this child?" They replied, "No." Then Ali asked two other men, "Do you both testify to the paternity of this child?" They also replied, "No." Ali then ordered that the child be slapped, and he awarded two-thirds of the blood money to the man upon whom the lot fell. This incident was mentioned to the Prophet ﷺ , who laughed until his molar teeth could be seen. 5653 Ali ibn Hujr al-Marwazi reported to us, he said: Ali ibn Musahir reported to us from Al-Ajlaha, from Al-Sha'bi, who said: Abdullah ibn Abi Al-Khalil Al-Hadrami informed me, from Zaid ibn Arqam, who said: "While we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , a man from Yemen came and began informing and conversing with him. Ali was present and relayed to the Prophet ﷺ the following: 'O Messenger of Allah, three men have come to Ali and they are disputing the parentage of a child. They encountered a woman in a state of ritual purity.'"  

أُتِيَ عَلِيٌّ بِثَلَاثَةٍ وَهُوَ بِالْيَمَنِ وَقَعُوا عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ فِي طُهْرٍ وَاحِدٍ فَسَأَلَ اثْنَيْنِ أَتُقِرَّانِ لِهَذَا بِالْوَلَدِ؟ قَالَا لَا ثُمَّ سَأَلَ اثْنَيْنِ أَتُقِرَّانِ لِهَذَا بِالْوَلَدِ؟ قَالَا لَا فَأَقْرَعَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَأَلْحَقَ الْوَلَدَ بِالَّذِي صَارَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْقُرْعَةُ وَجَعَلَ عَلَيْهِ ثُلُثَيِ الدِّيَةِ فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَضَحِكَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ 5653 أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ عَنِ الْأَجْلَحِ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي الْخَلِيلِ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ قَالَ بَيْنَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِذْ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ فَجَعَلَ يُخْبِرُهُ وَيُحَدِّثُهُ وَعَلِيٌّ بِهَا فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَتَى عَلِيًّا ثَلَاثَةُ نَفَرٍ يَخْتَصِمُونَ فِي وَلَدٍ وَقَعُوا عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ فِي طُهْرٍ وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ  

"I was with the Messenger of Allah, and 'Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, was in Yemen at that time. A man came to him and said: 'I saw 'Ali when three men were brought to him who all claimed (to be the father) of a child. 'Ali said to one of them: Will you give the child up to him? And he refused. He said to (the next one): Will you give the child up to him? And he refused. He said to (the next one): Will you give the child up to him? And he refused. 'Ali said: You are disputing partners. I will cast lots among you, and whoever wins the draw, the child is for him, and he has to pay two-thirds of the Diyah.' The Messenger of Allah laughed so much that his back teeth became visible." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3490)   

كُنْتُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَعَلِيٌّ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِالْيَمَنِ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ شَهِدْتُ عَلِيًّا أُتِيَ فِي ثَلَاثَةٍ ادَّعَوْا وَلَدَ امْرَأَةٍ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ لِأَحَدِهِمْ تَدَعُهُ لِهَذَا؟ فَأَبَى وَقَالَ لِهَذَا تَدَعُهُ لِهَذَا فَأَبَى وَقَالَ لِهَذَا تَدَعُهُ لِهَذَا فَأَبَى قَالَ عَلِيٌّ أَنْتُمْ شُرَكَاءُ مُتَشَاكِسُونَ وَسَأُقْرِعُ بَيْنَكُمْ فَأَيُّكُمْ أَصَابَتْهُ الْقُرْعَةُ فَهُوَ لَهُ وَعَلَيْهِ ثُلُثَا الدِّيَةِ «فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هَذِهِ الْأَحَادِيثُ كُلُّهَا مُضْطَرِبَةُ الْأَسَانِيدِ  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , sent Ali to Yemen. He brought a young boy who three people argued over."  

«بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلِيًّا عَلَى الْيَمَنِ فَأُتِيَ بِغُلَامٍ تَنَازَعَ فِيهِ ثَلَاثَةٌ » وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ خَالَفَهُمْ سَلَمَةُ بْنُ كُهَيْلٍ [291] 5656 أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ بنْدَارٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ يَعْنِي غُنْدَرًا قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الشَّعْبِيَّ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي الْخَلِيلِ أَوْ ابْنِ الْخَلِيلِ أَنَّ ثَلَاثَةَ نَفَرٍ اشْتَرَكُوا فِي طُهْرٍ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ وَلَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَسَلَمَةُ بْنُ كُهَيْلٍ أَثْبَتُهُمْ وَحَدِيثُهُ أَوْلَى بِالصَّوَابِ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ
