[Machine] "Ali came with three others while he was in Yemen. They encountered a woman in a state of menstruation, so he asked two men, 'Do you confirm that this child is hers?' They replied, 'No.' Then he asked two other men, 'Do you confirm that this child is hers?' They also replied, 'No.' So he drew lots among them and ruled that the child belonged to the one on whom the lot fell. He then imposed on him two-thirds of the blood money. I mentioned this to the Prophet ﷺ, and he laughed until his molars showed. Is'haq ibn Shahin reported to us that Khalid narrated to us from Ash-Sha'bi from a man from Hadramaut, from Zaid ibn Arqam who said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent Ali to Yemen and he brought back a boy who three people claimed as their own, and the narration continues.'"
