Narrated ‘Ali bin Abi Talib:

During the lifetime of the Prophet there was a man called ‘Abdullah whose nickname was Donkey,
and he used to make Allah’s Apostle laugh. The Prophet lashed him because of drinking (alcohol).
And one-day he was brought to the Prophet on the same charge and was lashed. On that, a man
among the people said, “O Allah, curse him ! How frequently he has been brought (to the Prophet on
such a charge)!” The Prophet said, “Do not curse him, for by Allah, I know for he loves Allah and His
Apostle.”

This (boy) is the son of my brother, ‘Utba bin Abi Waqqas who told me to be his custodian as he was
his son. Please notice to whom he bears affinity.” And ‘Abu bin Zam’a said, “This is my brother, O Al –
lah’s Apostle! He was born on my father’s bed by his slave girl.” Then the Prophet looked at the boy
and noticed evident resemblance between him and ‘Utba, so he said, “He (the toy) is for you, O ‘Abu
bin Zam’a, for the boy is for the owner of the bed, and the stone is for the adulterer. Screen yourself
before the boy, O Sauda bint Zam’a.” ‘Aisha added: Since then he had never seen Sauda.

Allah’s Apostle 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”
