حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ الْبَتِّيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّ جَدَّهُ أَسْلَمَ وَأَبَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ أَنْ تُسْلِمَ، فَجَاءَ بِابْنٍ لَهُ صَغِيرٍ لَمْ يَبْلُغْ، قَالَ: فَأَجْلَسَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْأَبَ هَاهُنَا وَالْأُمَّ هَاهُنَا، وَقَالَ: " اللهُمَّ اهْدِهِ " فَذَهَبَ إِلَى أَبِيهِ (١)، ،

Translation

English translation

Abdul Hameed bin Salamah says that his grandfather had accepted Islam during the time of the Prophet, but his grandmother had not accepted Islam. The grandfather and grandmother had a son. Both of them brought their case to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "If you both consider it appropriate, give your son the choice (to go with whomever he wishes)." Then the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) seated the father in one corner and the mother in another corner and gave the child the choice. The child started walking towards the mother, so the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) prayed, "O Allah! Grant guidance to this child." Thus, the child returned to his father.
