[Machine] Narrated by the prophet ﷺ: Two women came to Solomon, son of David, peace be upon them, arguing over a child each claiming to be its mother. Prophet of Allah ﷺ then said, "Bring me a knife so that I may cut it (the baby) in half and give each of them a half." One of them said, "No, let the child live." The other agreed. So he decided in favor of the one who had agreed to let the child live.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ اخْتَصَمَتِ امْرَأَتَانِ إِلَى سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلَامُ فِي وَلَدٍ كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُمَا تَزْعُمُ أَنَّهَا وَلَدَتْهُ فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ هَاتُوا السِّكِّينَ حَتَّى نَقْطَعَهُ بَيْنَهُمَا قَالَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا بَلْ أَدَعُهُ لَهَا قَالَ وَكَانَتِ الْأُخْرَى رَضِيَتْ فَقَالَ لَوْ كَانَ ابْنَكِ لَمْ تَرْضَيْ أَنْ يُقْطَعَ فَقَضَى بِهِ لِلْأُخْرَى
