حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ كَانَتِ امْرَأَتَانِ مَعَهُمَا ابْنَاهُمَا، جَاءَ الذِّئْبُ فَذَهَبَ بِابْنِ إِحْدَاهُمَا فَقَالَتْ لِصَاحِبَتِهَا إِنَّمَا ذَهَبَ بِابْنِكِ. وَقَالَتِ الأُخْرَى إِنَّمَا ذَهَبَ بِابْنِكِ. فَتَحَاكَمَتَا إِلَى دَاوُدَ ـ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ ـ فَقَضَى بِهِ لِلْكُبْرَى، فَخَرَجَتَا عَلَى سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ ـ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَمُ ـ فَأَخْبَرَتَاهُ فَقَالَ ائْتُونِي بِالسِّكِّينِ أَشُقُّهُ بَيْنَهُمَا. فَقَالَتِ الصُّغْرَى لاَ تَفْعَلْ يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ. هُوَ ابْنُهَا. فَقَضَى بِهِ لِلصُّغْرَى ‏"‏. قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ وَاللَّهِ إِنْ سَمِعْتُ بِالسِّكِّينِ قَطُّ إِلاَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ، وَمَا كُنَّا نَقُولُ إِلاَّ الْمُدْيَةَ.

Narrator: Abu Huraira

English translation
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "There were two women with whom there were their two sons. A wolf came and took away the son of one of them. That lady said to her companion, 'The wolf has taken your son.' The other said, 'But it has taken your son.' So both of them sought the judgment of (the Prophet) David who judged that the boy should be given to the older lady. Then both of them went to (the Prophet) Solomon, son of David and informed him of the case. Solomon said, 'Give me a knife so that I may cut the child into two portions and give one half to each of you.' The younger lady said, 'Do not do so; may Allah bless you ! He is her child.' On that, he gave the child to the younger lady." Abu Huraira added: By Allah! I had never heard the word 'Sakkin' as meaning knife, except on that day, for we used to call it "Mudya

আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। রাসূলুল্লাহ্ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ দু’জন স্ত্রীলোকের সাথে তাদের দু’টো ছেলে ছিল। বাঘ এসে তাদের একজনের ছেলেকে নিয়ে গেল। এক মহিলা তার সঙ্গিণীকে বলল, বাঘ তোমার ছেলেকে নিয়ে গেছে। অন্যজন বলল, বাঘ তোমার ছেলেকে নিয়ে গেছে। তারা দু’জন দাউদ (আঃ)-এর কাছে তাদের মামলা পেশ করল। তিনি বড় স্ত্রীলোকটির পক্ষে রায় দিলেন। তারপর তারা বেরিয়ে দাউদ (আঃ)-এর ছেলে সুলায়মান (আঃ)-এর কাছে গেল আর তারা দু’জনেই তাঁকে তাদের ঘটনা জানালো। তখন তিনি বললেন, আমার কাছে একটি ছুরি আন কেটে দু’জনের মধ্যে ভাগ করে দেব। তখন ছোট স্ত্রীলোকটি বলল, আপনি এমন করবেন না, আল্লাহ্ আপনার উপর দয়া করুন। এ ছেলেটি তারই। তখন তিনি ছেলেটি ছোট মহিলার ব’লে রায় দিলেন। আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাঃ) বলেন, আল্লাহর কসম! আমি سكين শব্দটি ঐ দিনের পূর্বে কখনও শুনিনি। পূর্বে তো আমরা একে مدية বলতাম। [৩৪২৭] (আধুনিক প্রকাশনী- ৬৩০০, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন)
