Abu Hurairah(ra) related that Allaah’s Messenger(saw) said: “There were two women & each of them had a son. A wolf came & took away the son of one of them. One said to the other, ‘it took away your son.’ & the other said, ‘No, it took away your son.’ they went to Dawood(as) for judgement, & he ruled for the older of the two. Then they went to Sulaiman bin Dawood(as) & informed him of what happened. He said, ‘Bring to me a knife & i will cut him in two.’ The younger of the two women said, ‘Do not do so, may Allaah have mercy on you, for he is her son.’ Then Sulaiman(ra) (knowing the love of a mother), ruled for the younger of the two women.”
