[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about the child of fornication, and he said, "He is among the worst three." Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him) explained, meaning when he follows the actions of his parents.  

البيهقي:١٩٩٩٥ – أَخْبَرَنَاهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ أنبأ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ثنا أَبُو حُذَيْفَةَ ثنا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ قَالَ

سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ وَلَدِ الزِّنَا فَقَالَ هُوَ شَرُّ الثَّلَاثَةِ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ يَعْنِي إِذَا عَمِلَ بِعَمَلِ وَالِدَيْهِ
