Chapter 31 · The Book of Manumission of Slavesفِي عِتْقِ وَلَدِ الزِّنَا
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: وَلَدُ الزِّنَا شَرُّ الثَّلَاثَةِ ، وقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: لَأَنْ أُمَتِّعَ بِسَوْطٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَعْتِقَ وَلَدَ زِنْيَةٍ.

Manumitting One Who Was Born Out Of Zina
The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: The child of adultery is worst of the three. Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ said: That I give a flog in the path of Allah (as a charity) is dearer to me than emancipating a child of adultery.
