"Three men were brought to 'Ali while he was in Yemen; they all had intercourse with a woman during a single menstrual cycle. He asked two of them: 'Do you affirm that this child belongs to (the third man)?' And they said: 'No.' He asked another two of them: 'Do you affirm that this child belongs to (the third man)?' And they said: 'No.' So he cast lots between them, and attributed the child to the one whom the lot fell, and obliged him to pay two-thirds of the Diyah. The Prophet was told of this, and he laughed so much that his back teeth became visible."  

أُتِيَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ بِثَلاَثَةٍ وَهُوَ بِالْيَمَنِ وَقَعُوا عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ فِي طُهْرٍ وَاحِدٍ فَسَأَلَ اثْنَيْنِ أَتُقِرَّانِ لِهَذَا بِالْوَلَدِ قَالاَ لاَ ثُمَّ سَأَلَ اثْنَيْنِ أَتُقِرَّانِ لِهَذَا بِالْوَلَدِ قَالاَ لاَ فَأَقْرَعَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَأَلْحَقَ الْوَلَدَ بِالَّذِي صَارَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْقُرْعَةُ وَجَعَلَ عَلَيْهِ ثُلُثَىِ الدِّيَةِ فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَضَحِكَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ  

Three persons were brought to Ali (Allah be pleased with him) when he was in the Yemen. They and sexual intercourse with a woman during a single state of purity. He asked two of them: Do you acknowledge this child for this (man)? They replied: No. He then put this (question) to all of them. Whenever he asked two of them, they replied in the negative. He, therefore, cast a lot among them, and attributed the child to the one who received the lot. He imposed two-third of the blood-money (i.e. the price of the mother) on him. This was then mentioned to the Prophet ﷺ and he laughed so much that his molar teeth appeared.  

أُتِيَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ بِثَلاَثَةٍ وَهُوَ بِالْيَمَنِ وَقَعُوا عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ فِي طُهْرٍ وَاحِدٍ فَسَأَلَ اثْنَيْنِ أَتُقِرَّانِ لِهَذَا بِالْوَلَدِ قَالاَ لاَ حَتَّى سَأَلَهُمْ جَمِيعًا فَجَعَلَ كُلَّمَا سَأَلَ اثْنَيْنِ قَالاَ لاَ فَأَقْرَعَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَأَلْحَقَ الْوَلَدَ بِالَّذِي صَارَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْقُرْعَةُ وَجَعَلَ عَلَيْهِ ثُلُثَىِ الدِّيَةِ قَالَ فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَضَحِكَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ  

[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.'"  

أُتِيَ عَلِيٌّ بِثَلَاثَةٍ وَهُوَ بِالْيَمَنِ وَقَعُوا عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ فِي طُهْرٍ وَاحِدٍ فَسَأَلَ اثْنَيْنِ أَتُقِرَّانِ يَعْنِي لِهَذَا بِالْوَلَدِ ؟ قَالَا لَا ثُمَّ سَأَلَ اثْنَيْنِ أَتُقِرَّانِ لِهَذَا بِالْوَلَدِ؟ قَالَا لَا فَأَقْرَعَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَقَضَى بِالْوَلَدِ لِلَّذِي صَارَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْقُرْعَةُ وَجَعَلَ عَلَيْهِ ثُلُثَيِ الدِّيَةِ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَضَحِكَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ 5994 أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ شَاهِينَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ عَنِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ حَضْرَمَوْتَ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ قَالَ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلِيًّا عَلَى الْيَمَنِ فَأُتِيَ بِغُلَامٍ تَنَازَعَ فِيهِ ثَلَاثَةٌ وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ  

[Machine] Ali came to Yemen and there were three men who had intercourse with one woman while she was in her menstrual period. He asked two of the men, "Do you both admit that this child belongs to you?" They replied, "No." Then he asked two more men, "Do you both admit that this child belongs to you?" They also replied, "No." He asked two more men the same question and they also replied, "No." Ali said, "Indeed, whenever I ask two men if this child belongs to them, they both say no." So he made them draw lots, and the child was attributed to the one upon whom the lot fell, and he was required to pay two-thirds of the blood money. This incident was mentioned to the Prophet ﷺ , who laughed until his molars showed. This narration is included in the individuals of Abd al-Razzaq from Sufyan al-Thawri.  

أُتِيَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ وَهُوَ بِالْيَمَنِ فِي ثَلَاثَةٍ وَقَعُوا عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ فِي طُهْرٍ وَاحِدٍ فَسَأَلَ اثْنَيْنِ أَتُقِرَّانِ لِهَذَا بِالْوَلَدِ؟ فَقَالَا لَا ثُمَّ سَأَلَ اثْنَيْنِ فَقَالَ أَتُقِرَّانِ لِهَذَا بِالْوَلَدِ؟ قَالَا لَا ثُمَّ سَأَلَ اثْنَيْنِ فَقَالَ أَتُقِرَّانِ لِهَذَا بِالْوَلَدِ؟ قَالَا لَا قَالَ فَعَلِيٌّ كُلَّمَا سَأَلَ اثْنَيْنِ أَتُقِرَّانِ لِهَذَا بِالْوَلَدِ؟ قَالَا لَا فَأَقْرَعَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَأَلْحَقَ الْوَلَدَ بِالَّذِي صَارَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْقُرْعَةُ وَجَعَلَ عَلَيْهِ ثُلُثَيِ الدِّيَةِ قَالَ فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَضَحِكَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ مِمَّا يُعَدُّ فِي أفْرَادِ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ
