It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was in Yemen, a woman was brought to him with whom three men had committed adultery during the same period of purity. He asked two of the men, "Do you acknowledge the child for this person?" They did not acknowledge. In the same way, he kept questioning each one together with the other until he completed this process, and none of them acknowledged the child. Then he cast lots among them, and the one whose name was drawn, the child was attributed to him, and two-thirds of the blood money was imposed upon him. This issue was presented before the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "I also know the same solution that Ali has given."
