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.

:Telah mengabarkan kepada kami Qutaibah berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami Abu Al Ahwash dari Simak dari 'Ikrimah mengenai firman Allah 'azza wajalla: '(Dan orang-orang yang akan meninggal dunia di antara kamu dan meninggalkan isteri hendaklah berwasiat untuk isteri-isterinya (yaitu) diberi nafkah hingga setahun lamanya dan tidak disuruh pindah (dari rumahnya) ' (Qs. Al Baqarah: 240). 'Ikrimah berkata Ayat tersebut dihapus oleh ayat: '(Orang-orang yang meninggal dunia di antaramu dengan meninggalkan isteri-isteri (hendaklah para isteri itu) menangguhkan dirinya (ber'iddah) empat bulan sepuluh hari) ' (Qs. Al Baqarah: 234).

I was with the Messenger of Allah, and 'Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, was in Yemen at that time. A man came to him and said: 'I saw 'Ali when three men were brought to him who all claimed (to be the father) of a child. 'Ali said to one of them: Will you give the child up to him? And he refused. He said to (the next one): Will you give the child up to him? And he refused. He said to (the next one): Will you give the child up to him? And he refused. 'Ali said: You are disputing partners. I will cast lots among you, and whoever wins the draw, the child is for him, and he has to pay two-thirds of the Diyah.' The Messenger of Allah laughed so much that his back teeth became visible.

:Telah mengabarkan kepada kami Muhammad bin Rafi' berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami Hujain bin Al Mutsanna berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami Al Laits dari 'Uqail dari Ibnu Syihab dari Abu Salamah bin Abdurrahman dari Fatimah binti Qais ia mengabarkan kepadanya bahwa dirinya pernah menjadi isteri Abu 'Amru bin Hafsh bin Al Mughirah kemudian ia mencerainya dengan talak ketiga. Kemudian Fatimah mengaku bahwa ia datang kepada Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam dan meminta fatwa untuk keluar dari rumahnya. Maka beliau memerintahkannya untuk pindah ke rumah Ibnu Ummi Maktum seorang laki-laki orang yang buta. Namun Marwan menolak untuk mempercayai Fatimah mengenai keluarnya orang yang dicerai dari rumahnya. 'Urwah berkata Aisyah mengingkari perbuatan Fatimah tersebut.
