أَخْبَرَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ الْبَتِّيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّهُ أَسْلَمَ وَأَبَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ أَنْ تُسْلِمَ فَجَاءَ ابْنٌ لَهُمَا صَغِيرٌ لَمْ يَبْلُغِ الْحُلُمَ فَأَجْلَسَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الأَبَ هَا هُنَا وَالأُمَّ هَا هُنَا ثُمَّ خَيَّرَهُ فَقَالَ " اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِهِ " . فَذَهَبَ إِلَى أَبِيهِ .
Mahmud ibn Ghaylan informed us; he said: Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us; he said: Sufyan narrated to us, from Uthman al-Batti, from Abd al-Hamid ibn Salamah al-Ansari, from his father, from his grandfather, who had become Muslim while his wife refused to become Muslim. A young son of theirs who had not yet reached puberty came. The Prophet seated the father here and the mother there, then gave the boy a choice. He said, ‘O Allah, guide him.’ The boy went to his father.
