حديث عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: اخْتَصَمَ سَعْدُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ وَعَبْدُ بْنُ زَمْعَةَ فِي غُلَامٍ؛ فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ: هذَا، يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ابْنُ أَخِي عُتْبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّهُ ابْنُهُ، انْظُرْ إِلَى شَبَهِهِ، وَقَالَ عَبْدُ بْنُ زَمْعَةَ: هذَا أَخِي، يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وُلِدَ عَلَى فِرَاشِ أَبِي مِنْ وَلِيدَتِهِ فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى شَبَهِهِ فَرَأَى شَبَهًا بَيِّنًا بِعُتْبَةَ، فَقَالَ: هُوَ لَكَ ⦗١٠٥⦘ يَا عَبْدُ، الْوَلَدُ لِلْفِرَاشِ وَلِلْعَاهِرِ الْحَجَرُ، وَاحْتَجِبِي مِنْهُ يَا سَوْدَة بِنْتَ زَمْعَةَ فَلَمْ تَرَهُ سَوْدَةُ قَطُّ.
A'isha Narrated from:
Sa’d bin Abî Waqqâs and ‘Abd bin Zam‘a quarrelled over a boy. Sa’d said, “O Allâh’s Messenger! This boy is the son of my brother (‘Utba bin Abî Waqqâs) 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.” ‘Abd bin Zam‘a said, “O Allâh’s Messenger! This is my brother and was born on my father’s bed from his slave-girl.”Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم cast a glance at the boy and found definite resemblance to ‘Utba and then said, “O ‘Abd bin Zam‘a, the boy is for you. 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 صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “O Sauda bint Zam‘a! Screen yourself from this boy.” So Sauda never saw him again. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 421, Vol. 3)
