English translation
2275. It was reported from Rabāh the slave of Al-Ḥasan bin ‘Alī bin Abī Ṭalib, that he said: “My family (those who owned him) married me to a Roman slave-girl of theirs, so I had intercourse with her. She gave birth to a black son, like me, and I named him ‘Abdullāh. Then I engaged in intercourse with her, and she gave birth to a black son like me, and I named him ‘Ubaidullāh. But then a Roman slave of my master’s, by the name of Yuḥannah, ruined her, and spoke with her in their language. She gave birth to a boy who looked like a lizard. I said to her: ‘What is this?’ She replied: ‘This is Yuḥannah’s (child).’ So we complained to ‘Uthmān regarding the both of them. He asked them, and they both confessed (to the fornication). He said to them: ‘Are you willing that I judge between you with the judgment of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ? The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ ruled that the child is ascribed to the bed’” — (one of the narrators said) I think he said: “So he lashed him, and lashed her, and they were both slaves.” (Da’if)
