Narrated Zayd Ibn Arqam: I was sitting with the Prophet ﷺ. A man came from the Yemen; and said: Three men from the people of the Yemen came to Ali; quarrelling about a child; asking him to give a decision. They had had sexual intercourse with a woman during a single state of purity. He said to two of them: Give this child to this man the third person with pleasure. But they refused and cried loudly. Again he said to two of them: Give the child to the man the third person willingly. But they refused and cried loudly. He then said: You are quarrelsome partners. I shall cast lots among you; he who receives the lot; will acquire the child; and he shall pay two-thirds of the blood-money to both his companions. He then cast lots among them; and gave the child to the one who received the lot. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed so much that his canine or molar teeth appeared.
