حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ أَجْلَحَ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي الْخَلِيلِ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ أَنَّ نَفَرًا وَطِئُوا امْرَأَةً فِي طُهْرٍ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ لِاثْنَيْنِ مِنْهُمْ أَتَطِيبَانِ نَفْسًا لِذَا فَقَالَا لَا فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَى الْآخَرَيْنِ فَقَالَ أَتَطِيبَانِ نَفْسًا لِذَا فَقَالَا لَ
ا قَالَ أَنْتُمْ شُرَكَاءُ مُتَشَاكِسُونَ قَالَ إِنِّي مُقْرِعٌ بَيْنَكُمْ فَأَيُّكُمْ قُرِعَ أَغْرَمْتُهُ ثُلُثَيْ الدِّيَةِ وَأَلْزَمْتُهُ الْوَلَدَ قَالَ فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَا أَعْلَمُ إِلَّا مَا قَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ

English Translation
Zayd ibn Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that a group of men were intimate with a woman during a single period of purity. ʿAlī رضي الله عنه said to two of them: 'Do you willingly concede the child to this one?' They said no. He turned to the other two and said: 'Do you willingly concede the child to this one?' They said no. He said: 'You are quarreling partners. I will draw lots among you, and whichever of you the lot falls upon, I will charge him two-thirds of the blood money and assign the child to him.' That was mentioned to the Prophet ﷺ and he said: 'I know of nothing except what ʿAlī رضي الله عنه has said.'
