2421. Narrated ‘Āishah رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا: ‘Abd bin Zam’a and Sa’d bin Abī Waqqāṣ carried the case of their claim of the (ownership) of the son of a slave-girl of Zam’a before the Prophet ﷺ. Sa’d said, “O Allāh’s Messenger! My brother, before his death, told me that when I would return (to Makkah), I should search for the son of the slave-girl of Zam’a and take him into my custody as he was his son.” ‘Abd bin Zam’a said, “He is my brother and the son of the slave-girl of my father, and was born on my father’s bed.” The Prophet ﷺ noticed a resemblance between ‘Utba and the boy but he said, “O ‘Abd bin Zam’a! You will get this boy, as the son goes to the owner of the bed. You, Sauda, screen yourself from the boy.”
