22. Divorce
٢٢۔ كِتَابُ الطَّلَاقِ
"O Allah, guide him," and (the child) went to his father. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3495)
أَنْ تُسْلِمَ فَجَاءَ ابْنٌ لَهَا صَغِيرٌ لَمْ يَبْلُغْ فَأَجْلَسَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْأَبَ هَاهُنَا وَالْأُمَّ هَاهُنَا ثُمَّ خَيَّرَهُ فَقَالَ «اللهُمَّ اهْدِهِ» فَذَهَبَ إِلَى أَبِيهِ
"While I was with Abu Hurairah he said: 'A woman came to the Messenger of Allah and said: May my father and mother be ransomed for you! My husband wants to take my son away, but he helps me, and brings me water from the well of Abu 'Inabah. Her husband came and said: Who is going to take my son from me? The Messenger of Allah said: "O boy, this is your father and this is your mother; take the hand of whichever of them you want." He took his mother's hand and she left with him.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3496)
إِنَّ امْرَأَةً جَاءَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَأُمِّي إِنَّ زَوْجِي يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ بِابْنِي وَقَدْ نَفَعَنِي وَسَقَانِي مِنْ بِئْرِ أَبِي عِنَبَةَ فَجَاءَ زَوْجُهَا فَقَالَ مَنْ يُخَاصِمُنِي فِي ابْنِي؟ فَقَالَ «يَا غُلَامُ هَذَا أَبُوكَ وَهَذِهِ أُمُّكَ فَخُذْ بِيَدِ أَيِّهِمَا شِئْتَ» فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِ أُمِّهِ فَانْطَلَقَتْ بِهِ
