2274. 'Amr bin Shu'āib narrated from his father, from his grandfather that a man stood up in front of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and said: "So-and-so is my son, for I fornicated with his mother in the times of Jāhiliyyah." The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'There is no prescribing (of genealogies) in Islam. The customs of Jāhiliyyah have all gone. The child is ascribed to the bed, and the Hajar (stone) is for the Āhir (fornicator).”” (Hasan)
2274 - حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا حُسَيْنٌ الْمُعَلِّمُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ: قَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّ فُلَانًا ابْنِي عَاهَرْتُ بِأُمِّهِ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا دَعْوَةَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ، ذَهَبَ أَمْرُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، الْوَلَدُ لِلْفِرَاشِ وَلِلْعَاهِرِ الْحَجَرُ»

[1] Some scholars are of the opinion that: "The Hajar (stone) is for the Āhir (fornicator)" refers to stoning, but others explained that stoning is not for the fornicator, but the one who has been married and fornicates, and that the Hadīth means the fornicator does not get anything; no rights over the child, nor inheritance, etc. See the commentary of An-Nawawī on Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (no. 3613,3136,1457); Ibn Hajar in Fath Al-Bārī (no. 6750); ʿAwn Al-Maʿbūd; and Minnat Al-Munʿim the commentary on Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim by our Shaikh Ṣafiur-Raḥmān Al-Mubarakpūrī, may Allah have mercy upon him.
