Chapter 22: Giving A Child The Choice Between His The Parents
باب تَخْيِيرِ الصَّبِيِّ بَيْنَ أَبَوَيْهِ
Sunan Ibn Majah 2351
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that
the Prophet (ﷺ) gave a child the choice between his father and his mother (i.e., which parent to live with). He said: “O boy, this is your mother and this is your father.”حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ هِلاَلِ بْنِ أَبِي مَيْمُونَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مَيْمُونَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم خَيَّرَ غُلاَمًا بَيْنَ أَبِيهِ وَأُمِّهِ وَقَالَ " يَا غُلاَمُ هَذِهِ أُمُّكَ وَهَذَا أَبُوكَ " .
