Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Two women came to Sayyiduna Dawud (peace be upon him) disputing over a child. Sayyiduna Dawud (peace be upon him) gave judgment in favor of the older woman. When both of them left, Sayyiduna Sulaiman (peace be upon him) inquired, 'What decision did Sayyiduna Dawud (peace be upon him) give between you two?' Both women informed Sayyiduna Sulaiman (peace be upon him) about it. So Sayyiduna Sulaiman (peace be upon him) said, 'Bring me a knife.' (The narrator says: For the first time, I heard the word 'sikkeen' from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), because we used the word 'madiyah' for a knife.) The younger woman asked, 'Why?' Sayyiduna Sulaiman (peace be upon him) said, 'I will divide this child between you both.' The younger woman said, 'Hand over this child to the older woman,' while the older woman said, 'Divide him between us.' The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So Sayyiduna Sulaiman (peace be upon him) gave judgment in favor of the younger woman. He said: 'If this was your son, you would not be pleased that he be cut into pieces.'"
