4303. Narrated 'Āishah رضي الله عنها: 'Utba bin Abī Waqqāṣ authorized his brother Sa'd to take the son of the slave-girl of Zam'a into his custody. 'Utba said (to him), “He is my son.” When Allāh's Messenger ﷺ arrived in Makkah during the conquest (of Makkah), Sa'd bin Abī Waqqāṣ took the son of the slave-girl of Zam'a to the Prophet ﷺ. 'Abd bin Zam'a, too, came along with him. Sa'd said, “This is the son of my brother and the latter has informed me that he is his son.” 'Abd bin Zam'a said, “O Allāh's Messenger! This is my brother who is the son of the slave-girl of Zam'a and was born on his (i.e., Zam'a's) bed.” Allāh's Messenger ﷺ cast a glance at the son of the slave-girl of Zam'a and noticed that he, of all the people had the greatest resemblance to 'Utba bin Abī Waqqāṣ. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ then said (to 'Abd), “He is yours; he is your brother, O 'Abd bin Zam'a, as he was born on the bed (of your father).” (At the same time) Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said (to his wife Sauda), “O Sauda! Screen yourself from him (i.e., the son of the slave-girl),”(1) because of the resemblance he noticed between him and 'Utba bin Abī Waqqāš. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ added, "The boy is for the bed (i.e., for the owner of the bed where he is born), and stone is for the adulterer."(1) [Ibn Shihāb said, "Abū Hurairah used to say publicly that (i.e., the last statement of the Prophet ﷺ in the above Hadīth No.4303.)"] =of the slave-girl of Zam'a proved not to be the son of Zam'a and consequently not a relative to Sauda. (Allāh's) Legal Punishment to him. By Him in Whose Hand Muḥammad's soul is, if Fāṭima, the daughter of Muḥammad stole, I would cut her hand." Then Allāh's Messenger ﷺ gave his order in the case of that woman and her hand was cut off. Afterwards her repentance proved sincere and she got married. 'Aishah said, "That lady used to visit me and I used to convey her demands to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ."

4303 - حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَالَ اللَّيْثُ: حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: كَانَ عُتْبَةُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ عَهِدَ إِلَى أَخِيهِ سَعْدٍ: أَنْ يَقْبِضَ ابْنَ وَلِيدَةِ زَمْعَةَ، وَقَالَ عُتْبَةُ: إِنَّهُ ابْنِي، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَكَّةَ فِي الفَتْحِ، أَخَذَ سَعْدُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ ابْنَ وَلِيدَةِ زَمْعَةَ، فَأَقْبَلَ بِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَأَقْبَلَ مَعَهُ عَبْدُ بْنُ زَمْعَةَ، فَقَالَ سَعْدُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ: هَذَا ابْنُ أَخِي عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّهُ ابْنُهُ، قَالَ عَبْدُ بْنُ زَمْعَةَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا أَخِي هَذَا ابْنُ زَمْعَةَ وُلِدَ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ، فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى ابْنِ وَلِيدَةِ زَمْعَةَ، فَإِذَا أَشْبَهُ النَّاسِ بِعُتْبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «هُوَ لَكَ هُوَ أَخُوكَ يَا عَبْدُ بْنَ زَمْعَةَ» مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُ وُلِدَ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ، وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «احْتَجِبِي مِنْهُ يَا سَوْدَةُ» لِمَا رَأَى مِنْ شَبَهِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ: قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الوَلَدُ لِلْفِرَاشِ وَلِلْعَاهِرِ الحَجَرُ» وَقَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ: وَكَانَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ يَصِيحُ بِذَلِكَ
