2745. Narrated ‘Aishah رضي الله عنها, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ: ‘Utba bin Abi Waqqāš entrusted (his son) to his brother Sa’d bin Abi Waqqāš saying, “The son of the slave-girl of Zam’a is my (illegal) son, take him into your custody.” So, during the year of the Conquest (of Makkah) Sa’d took the boy and said, “This is my brother’s son whom my brother entrusted to me.” ‘Abd bin Zam’a got up and said, “He is my brother and the son of the slave-girl of my father and was born on my father’s bed.” Then both of them came to Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ and Sa’d said, “O Allāh’s Messenger! This is my brother’s son whom my brother entrusted to me.”
Then ‘Abd bin Zam’a got up and said, “This is my brother and the son of the slave-girl of my father.” Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ said, “O ‘Abd bin Zam’a! This boy is for you as the boy belongs to the bed (where he was born), and for the adulterer is the stone.” Then the Prophet ﷺ said to his wife Sauda bint Zam’a, “Screen yourself from this boy,” when he saw
the boy's resemblance to 'Utba. Since then the boy did not see Sauda till he died.
