17.10 The child is for the bed and suspicion must be avoided

١٧۔١٠ باب الْوَلَدِ لِلْفِرَاشِ وَتَوَقِّي الشُّبُهَاتِ

Saʿd bin Abi Waqqas and 'Abu bin Zamʿa quarreled over a boy. Saʿd said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! This boy is the son of my brother (ʿUtba bin Abi Waqqas) who took a promise from me that I would take him as he was his (illegal) son. Look at him and see whom he resembles." 'Abu bin Zamʿa said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! This is my brother and was born on my father's bed from his slave-girl." Allah's Apostle cast a look at the boy and found definite resemblance to ʿUtba and then said, "The boy is for you, O 'Abu bin Zamʿa. The child goes to the owner of the bed and the adulterer gets nothing but the stones (despair, i.e. to be stoned to death). Then the Prophet ﷺ said, "O Sauda bint Zama! Screen yourself from this boy." So, Sauda never saw him again.

سَعْدٌ هَذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ابْنُ أَخِي عُتْبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ عَهِدَ إِلَىَّ أَنَّهُ ابْنُهُ انْظُرْ إِلَى شَبَهِهِ وَقَالَ عَبْدُ بْنُ زَمْعَةَ هَذَا أَخِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وُلِدَ عَلَى فِرَاشِ أَبِي مِنْ وَلِيدَتِهِ فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى شَبَهِهِ فَرَأَى شَبَهًا بَيِّنًا بِعُتْبَةَ فَقَالَ هُوَ لَكَ يَا عَبْدُ الْوَلَدُ لِلْفِرَاشِ وَلِلْعَاهِرِ الْحَجَرُ وَاحْتَجِبِي مِنْهُ يَا سَوْدَةُ بِنْتَ زَمْعَةَ فَلَمْ تَرَهُ سَوْدَةُ قَطُّ

The Prophet ﷺ said, "The boy is for the owner of the bed."  

(٩٢٣) البخاري:٦٧٥٠حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ عَنْ يَحْيَى عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ الْوَلَدُ لِصَاحِبِ الْفِرَاشِ
