الْوَلَدِ لِلْفِرَاشِ وَلِلْعَاهِرِ الْحَجَرُ

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: إِنَّ عَبْدَ بْنَ زَمْعَةَ وَسَعْدًا اخْتَصَمَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي ابْنِ أَمَةِ زَمْعَةَ، فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَوْصَانِي أَخِي إِذَا قَدِمْتُ مَكَّةَ أَنْ أَنْظُرَ إِلَى ابْنِ أَمَةِ زَمْعَةَ فَأَقْبِضَهُ، وَقَالَ عَبْدُ بْنُ زَمْعَةَ: أَخِي وَابْنُ أَمَةِ أَبِي وُلِدَ عَلَى فِرَاشِ أَبِي، فَرَأَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَبَهَهُ بِعُتْبَةَ، فَقَالَ: هُوَ لَكَ يَا عَبْدَ بْنَ زَمْعَةَ الْوَلَدُ لِلْفِرَاشِ، وَاحْتَجِبِي عَنْهُ يَا سَوْدَةُ .

The child is for the bed and the fornicator gets nothing

Ibn Zam'ah and Sa'd (Ibn Abu Waqqas) رضی اللہ عنہما referred a dispute to the Prophet concerning the son of Zam'ah's slave woman. Sa'd said : O Messenger of Allah my brother (Utbah bin Abu Waqqas) left instructions in his will that when I come to Makkah, I should look for the son of the slave woman of Zam'ah رضی اللہ عنہ and take him into my care. 'Abd bin Zam’ah said: He is my brother and the son of the slave woman of my father; he was born on my father's bed. The Prophet ffi saw that he resembled 'Utbah, and said: He belongs to you, O 'Abd bin Zam'ah. The child is for the bed. Observe Hijab before him, O Saudah. (sahih)
