Sahih (Darussalam)
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 ‏"‏ ‏‏
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."
