The child belongs to the marital bed

ahmad:417Abdullāh > Shaybān Abū Muḥammad > Mahdī b. Maymūn > Muḥammad b. Abdullāh b. Abī Yaʿqūb > al-Ḥasan b. Saʿd > Rabāḥ

أحمد:٤١٧حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا مَهْدِيُّ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ رَبَاحٍ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ

فَرَفَعْتُهُمَا إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَضَى «أَنَّ الْوَلَدَ لِلْفِرَاشِ»، فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ.
