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  

ʿUtba bin Abi Waqqas authorized his brother Saʿd bin Abi Waqqas to take the son of the slave-girl of Zamʿa into his custody, telling him that the boy was his own (illegal) son. When Messenger of Allah ﷺ went (to Mecca) at the time of the Conquest, Saʿd took the son of the slave-girl of Zamʿa to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and also brought 'Abu bin Zamʿa with him and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! This is the son of my brother ʿUtba who authorized me to take him into my custody." 'Abu bin Zamʿa said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! He is my brother, the son of Zamʿa's slave-girl and he was born on his bed." Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked at the son of the slave-girl of Zamʿa and noticed much resemblance (to ʿUtba). Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "It is for you, O 'Abu bin Zamʿa as he was born on the bed of your father." Messenger of Allah ﷺ then told Sauda bint Zamʿa to observe veil in the presence of the boy as he noticed the boy's resemblance to ʿUtba and Sauda was the wife of the Prophet ﷺ .  

عُتْبَةُ إِنَّهُ ابْنِي فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ زَمَنَ الْفَتْحِ أَخَذَ سَعْدٌ ابْنَ وَلِيدَةِ زَمْعَةَ فَأَقْبَلَ بِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَقْبَلَ مَعَهُ بِعَبْدِ بْنِ زَمْعَةَ فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا ابْنُ أَخِي عَهِدَ إِلَىَّ أَنَّهُ ابْنُهُ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ بْنُ زَمْعَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا أَخِي ابْنُ وَلِيدَةِ زَمْعَةَ وُلِدَ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى ابْنِ وَلِيدَةِ زَمْعَةَ فَإِذَا هُوَ أَشْبَهُ النَّاسِ بِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ هُوَ لَكَ يَا عَبْدُ بْنَ زَمْعَةَ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُ وُلِدَ عَلَى فِرَاشِ أَبِيهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ احْتَجِبِي مِنْهُ يَا سَوْدَةُ بِنْتَ زَمْعَةَ مِمَّا رَأَى مِنْ شَبَهِهِ بِعُتْبَةَ وَكَانَتْ سَوْدَةُ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ  

Saʿd bin Abi Waqqas and 'Abu bin Zamʿa had a dispute over a boy. Saʿd said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! This (boy) is the son of my brother, ʿUtba bin Abi Waqqas who told me to be his custodian as he was his son. Please notice to whom he bears affinity." And 'Abu bin Zamʿa said, "This is my brother, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! He was born on my father's bed by his slave girl." Then the Prophet ﷺ looked at the boy and noticed evident resemblance between him and ʿUtba, so he said, "He (the toy) is for you, O 'Abu bin Zamʿa, for the boy is for the owner of the bed, and the stone is for the adulterer. Screen yourself before the boy, O Sauda bint Zamʿa." ʿAisha added: Since then he had never seen Sauda.  

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 قَالَتْ فَلَمْ يَرَ سَوْدَةَ قَطُّ  

"Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas and 'Abd bin Zam'ah disputed over a boy. Sa'd said: 'O Messenger of Allah! This is the son of my brother 'Utbah bin Abi Waqqas, who made me promise to look after him because he is his son. Look at whom he resembles.' 'Abd bin Zam'ah said: 'He is my brother who was born on my father's bed to his slave woman.' The Messenger of Allah looked to determine at whom he resembled, and saw that he resembled 'Utbah. He said: 'He is for you, O 'Abd! The child is the bed's and for the fornicator is the stone. Veil yourself from him, O Sawdah bint Zam'ah.' And he never saw Sawdah again."  

سَعْدٌ هَذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ابْنُ أَخِي عُتْبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ عَهِدَ إِلَىَّ أَنَّهُ ابْنُهُ انْظُرْ إِلَى شَبَهِهِ وَقَالَ عَبْدُ بْنُ زَمْعَةَ أَخِي 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 يَرَ سَوْدَةَ قَطُّ

He said: 'He is for you, O 'Abd! The child is the bed's and for the fornicator is the stone. Veil yourself from him, O Sawdah bint Zam'ah.' And he never saw Sawdah again." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3484)   

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ اخْتَصَمَ سَعْدُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ وَعَبْدُ بْنُ زَمْعَةَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ابْنُ أَخِي عُتْبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّهُ ابْنُهُ انْظُرْ إِلَى شَبَهِهِ وَقَالَ عَبْدُ بْنُ زَمْعَةَ هَذَا أَخِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وُلِدَ عَلَى فِرَاشِ أَبِي فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى شَبَهِهِ فَرَأَى شَبَهًا بَيِّنًا بِعُتْبَةَ فَقَالَ هُوَ لَكَ يَا عَبْدُ بْنَ زَمْعَةَ الْوَلَدُ لِلْفِرَاشِ وَلِلْعَاهِرِ الْحَجَرُ وَاحْتَجِبِي مِنْهُ يَا سَوْدَةُ ابْنَةَ زَمْعَةَ قَالَتْ فَلَمْ يَرَ سَوْدَةَ قَطُّ  

[Machine] Aisha, when the day of victory came, Saad saw the boy and recognized him by his resemblance, so he hugged him and said, "He is my nephew, born on my father's bed from his slave girl." Then Abdul bin Zam'ah came and said, "No, he is my brother, born on my father's bed from his slave girl." So they both went to the Prophet ﷺ and Saad said, "O Messenger of Allah, this is my nephew, look at his resemblance to Utbah." Aisha said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw a resemblance that no one else had seen clearer than Utbah's resemblance." Then Abdul bin Zam'ah said, "O Messenger of Allah, he is my brother, born on my father's bed from his slave girl." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The child belongs to the bed, and cover him from it, O Saudah." Aisha said, "By Allah, she did not see her until she died."  

عَائِشَةُ فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْفَتْحِ رَأَى سَعْدٌ الْغُلَامَ فَعَرَفَهُ بِالشَّبَهِ وَاحْتَضَنَهُ إِلَيْهِ وَقَالَ ابْنُ أَخِي وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ فَجَاءَ عَبْدُ بْنُ زَمْعَةَ فَقَالَ بَلْ هُوَ أَخِي وُلِدَ عَلَى فِرَاشِ أَبِي مِنْ جَارِيَتِهِ فَانْطَلَقَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَذَا ابْنُ أَخِي انْظُرْ إِلَى شَبَهِهِ بِعُتْبَةَ قَالَتْعَائِشَةُ فَرَأَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ شَبَهًا لَمْ يَرَ النَّاسُ شَبَهًا أَبْيَنَ مِنْهُ بِعُتْبَةَ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ بْنُ زَمْعَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ بَلْ هُوَ أَخِي وُلِدَ عَلَى فِرَاشِ أَبِي مِنْ جَارِيَتِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْوَلَدُ لِلْفِرَاشِ وَاحْتَجِبِي عَنْهُ يَا سَوْدَةُ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَوَاللهِ مَا رَآهَا حَتَّى مَاتَتْ  

ʿUtba bin Abu Waqqas took a firm promise from his brother Saʿd bin Abu Waqqas to take the son of the slave-girl of Zamʿa into his custody as he was his (i.e. ʿUtba's) son. In the year of the Conquest (of Mecca) Saʿd bin Abu Waqqas took him, and said that he was his brother's son, and his brother took a promise from him to that effect. 'Abu bin Zamʿa 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 they both went to the Prophet ﷺ Saʿd said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! He is the son of my brother and he has taken a promise from me that I will take him." 'Abu bin Zamʿa said, "(He is) my brother and the son of my father's slave-girl and was born on my father's bed." Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The boy is for you. O 'Abu bin Zamʿa." Then the Prophet ﷺ said, "The son is for the bed (i.e. the man on whose bed he was born) and stones (disappointment and deprivation) for the one who has done illegal sexual intercourse." The Prophet ﷺ told his wife Sauda bint Zamʿa to screen herself from that boy as he noticed a similarity between the boy and ʿUtba. So, the boy did not see her till he died. (Using translation from Bukhārī 2053)  

أَخِي وَابْنُ وَلِيدَةَ أَبِي وُلِدَ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ فَأَتَيَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَخِي كَانَ عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ فِيهِ وَقَالَ عَبْدُ بْنُ زَمْعَةَ أَخِي وَابْنُ وَلِيدَةَ أَبِي وُلِدَ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «هُوَ لَكَ يَا عَبْدُ بْنَ زَمْعَةَ الْوَلَدُ لِلْفِرَاشِ وَلِلْعَاهِرِ الْحَجَرُ» ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِسَوْدَةَ بِنْتِ زَمْعَةَ «احْتَجِبِي مِنْهُ» لَمَّا رَأَى مِنْ شَبَهِهِ بِعُتْبَةَ فَمَا رَآهَا حَتَّى لَقِيَ اللَّهَ
