2218. Narrated 'Āishah رضي الله عنها Sa'd bin Abī Waqqāsh and 'Abd bin Zam'a quarrelled over a boy. Sa'd said, "O Allāh's Messenger! This boy is the son of my brother ('Utba bin Abī Waqqāsh) 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 Allāh's Messenger! This is my brother and was born on my father's bed from his slave-girl." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ cast a look at the boy and found definite resemblance to 'Utba and then said, "The boy is for you, O'Abd bin Zam'a. The child goes to the owner of the bed (on which he was born), and the adulterer gets nothing but the stones (despair, i.e., to be stoned to death). Then the Prophet ﷺ said, "O Sauda bint Zam'a! Screen yourself from this boy." So, Sauda never saw him again.

2218 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: اخْتَصَمَ سَعْدُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، وَعَبْدُ بْنُ زَمْعَةَ فِي غُلاَمٍ، فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ: هَذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ابْنُ أَخِي عُتْبَةُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّهُ ابْنُهُ انْظُرْ إِلَى شَبَهِهِ، وَقَالَ عَبْدُ بْنُ زَمْعَةَ: هَذَا أَخِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، وُلِدَ عَلَى فِرَاشِ أَبِي مِنْ وَلِيدَتِهِ، فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى شَبَهِهِ، فَرَأَى شَبَهًا بَيِّنًا بِعُتْبَةَ، فَقَالَ: «هُوَ لَكَ يَا عَبْدُ بْنَ زَمْعَةَ، الوَلَدُ لِلْفِرَاشِ وَلِلْعَاهِرِ الحَجَرُ، وَاحْتَجِبِي مِنْهُ يَا سَوْدَةُ بِنْتَ زَمْعَةَ» فَلَمْ تَرَهُ سَوْدَةُ قَطُّ
