The child belongs to the husband

ahmad:10386Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar > ʿAwf > al-Ḥasan

it has reached me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ decreed that the child belongs to the owner of the bed (husband) and the adulterer be stoned.   

أحمد:١٠٣٨٦حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ

بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَضَى أَنَّ الْوَلَدَ لِصَاحِبِ الْفِرَاشِ وَبِفِي الْعَاهِرِ الْحَجَرَ
