2533. Narrated 'Aishah رضي الله عنها: 'Utba bin Abi Waqqas authorized his brother Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas to take the son of the slave-girl of Zam'a into his custody, telling him that the boy was his own (illegal) son. When Allāh's Messenger ﷺ went (to Makkah) at the time of the conquest, Sa'd took the son of the slave-girl of Zam'a to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and also brought 'Abd bin Zam'a with him and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! This is the son of my brother 'Utba, who authorized me to take him into my custody." 'Abd bin Zam'a said, "O Allāh's Messenger! He is my brother, the son of Zam'a's slave-girl and he was born on his bed." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ cast a glance at the son of the slave-girl of Zam'a and noticed much resemblance (to 'Utba). Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "It is for you, O 'Abd bin Zam'a as he was born on the bed of your father." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ then said to Sauda bint Zam'a: "Screen yourself O Sauda bint Zam'a from him (the boy)," as he noticed the boy's resemblance to 'Utba and Sauda was the wife of the Prophet ﷺ. (See H. 4303).

2533 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو اليَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: إِنَّ عُتْبَةَ بْنَ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ عَهِدَ إِلَى أَخِيهِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ أَنْ يَقْبِضَ إِلَيْهِ ابْنَ وَلِيدَةِ زَمْعَةَ، قَالَ عُتْبَةُ: إِنَّهُ ابْنِي، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ زَمَنَ الفَتْحِ، أَخَذَ سَعْدٌ ابْنَ وَلِيدَةِ زَمْعَةَ، فَأَقْبَلَ بِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَأَقْبَلَ مَعَهُ بِعَبْدِ بْنِ زَمْعَةَ، فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا ابْنُ أَخِي عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّهُ ابْنُهُ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ بْنُ زَمْعَةَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا أَخِي ابْنُ وَلِيدَةِ زَمْعَةَ، وُلِدَ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ، فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى ابْنِ وَلِيدَةِ زَمْعَةَ، فَإِذَا هُوَ أَشْبَهُ النَّاسِ بِهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : «هُوَ لَكَ يَا عَبْدُ بْنَ زَمْعَةَ، مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُ وُلِدَ عَلَى فِرَاشِ أَبِيهِ» قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «احْتَجِبِي مِنْهُ يَا سَوْدَةُ بِنْتَ زَمْعَةَ» مِمَّا رَأَى مِنْ شَبَهِهِ بِعُتْبَةَ، وَكَانَتْ سَوْدَةُ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
