55. Wills and Testaments
٥٥۔ كتاب الوصايا
(the wife of the Prophet) ʿUtba bin Abi Waqqas entrusted (his son) to his brother Saʿd bin Abi Waqqas saying, "The son of the slave-girl of Zamʿa is my (illegal) son, take him into your custody." So during the year of the Conquest (of Mecca) Saʿd took the boy and said, "This is my brother's son whom my brother entrusted to me." 'Abu bin Zam's got up and said, "He is my brother and the son of the slave girl of my father and was born on my father's bed." Then both of them came to Allah's Apostle and Saʿd said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! This is my brother's son whom my brother entrusted to me." Then 'Abu bin Zamʿa got up and said, "This is my brother and the son of the slave-girl of my father." Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Abu bin Zamʿa! This boy is for you as the boy belongs to the bed (where he was born), and for the adulterer is the stone (i.e. deprivation)." Then the Prophet ﷺ said to his wife Sauda bint Zamʿa, "Screen yourself from this boy," when he saw the boy's resemblance to ʿUtba. Since then the boy did not see Sauda till he died.
