The Wise Judge.

Posted by Basíc Englísh Grammar For All on August 17, 2015

Two women were brought before King Solomon. Both these women had a quarrel over a single baby. Each woman was saying that she was the baby's mother.

One lady said, "Oh King! I am the baby's mother".

The other lady said, "Oh King! Believe her not. She is not the mother. I am the mother of the child".

King Solomon was confused. After a deep thought he said, "Cut the baby into two and give one part to each mother". One woman was silent. The other cried "Oh King! Let she have the baby. Let the baby live". The king gave the child to the crying mother.

The baby was handed over to the crying mother, but what about lying lady. Was she left without punishment? If it was so, possibly the trend of such claim would get momentum in the society. To the best my humble knowledge, such decision was taken by fourth caliph, Ali (R.A).
