حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ الْبَتِّيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَنَّ أَبَوَيْهِ اخْتَصَمَا إِلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَحَدُهُمَا کَافِرٌ وَالْآخَرُ مُسْلِمٌ فَخَيَّرَهُ فَتَوَجَّهَ إِلَی الْکَافِرِ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِهِ فَتَوَجَّهَ إِلَی الْمُسْلِمِ فَقَضَی لَهُ بِهِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 2352
It was narrated from 'Abdul-Hamid bin Salamah, from his father, from his grandfather, that his parents referred their dispute to the Prophet, and one of them was a disbeliever while the other a Muslim. He gave him the choice and he turned towards the disbeliever. He (the Prophet) said: "O Allah, guide him," and he turned towards the Muslim, and he ruled that he should go with that parent.
