Chapter 13 · Divorce (Kitab Al-Talaq)حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَهْدِيُّ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ أَبُو يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ، عَنْ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ مَوْلَى الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عنہ، عَنْ رَبَاحٍ، قَالَ: زَوَّجَنِي أَهْلِي أَمَةً لَهُمْ رُومِيَّةً فَوَقَعْتُ عَلَيْهَا فَوَلَدَتْ غُلَامًا أَسْوَدَ مِثْلِي فَسَمَّيْتُهُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ، ثُمَّ وَقَعْتُ عَلَيْهَا فَوَلَدَتْ غُلَامًا أَسْوَدَ مِثْلِي فَسَمَّيْتُهُ عُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ، ثُمَّ طَبِنَ لَهَا غُلَامٌ لِأَهْلِي رُومِيٌّ، يُقَالُ لَهُ: يُوحَنَّهْ، فَرَاطَنَهَا بِلِسَانِهِ فَوَلَدَتْ غُلَامًا كَأَنَّهُ وَزَغَةٌ مِنَ الْوَزَغَاتِ، فَقُلْتُ لَهَا: مَا هَذَا ؟ فَقَالَتْ: هَذَا لِيُوحَنَّهْ، فَرَفَعْنَا إِلَى عُثْمَانَ، أَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ: مَهْدِيٌّ، قَالَ: فَسَأَلَهُمَا فَاعْتَرَفَا، فَقَالَ لَهُمَا: أَتَرْضَيَانِ أَنْ أَقْضِيَ بَيْنَكُمَا بِقَضَاءِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَضَى أَنَّ الْوَلَدَ لِلْفِرَاشِ، وَأَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ: فَجَلَدَهَا، وَجَلَدَهُ وَكَانَا مَمْلُوكَيْنِ .

My people married me to a Roman slave-girl of theirs. I had intercourse with her, and she gave birth to a black (male) child like me. I named it Abdullah. I again had intercourse with her, and she gave birth to a black (male) child like me. I named it Ubaydullah. Then a Roman slave of my people, called Yuhannah, incited her, and spoke to her in his own unintelligible language. She gave birth to a son like a chameleon (red). I asked her: What is this? She replied: This belongs to Yuhannah. We then brought the case to Uthman رضی اللہ عنہ (for a decision). I think Mahdi said these words. He inquired from both of them, and they acknowledged (the facts). He then said to them: Do you agree that I take the decision about you, which the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم had taken? The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم decided that the child was to attributed to the one on whose bed it was born. And I think he said: He flogged her and flogged him, for they were slaves.
