6749. Narrated 'Āishah رضي الله عنها 'Utba (bin Abī Waqqāṣ) said to his brother Sa'd, "The son of the slave-girl of Zam'a is my son, so be his guardian." So when it was the year of the conquest of Makkah, Sa'd took that child and said, "He is my nephew, and my brother told me to be his guardian." On that, 'Abd bin Zam'a got up and said, "But the child is my brother, and the son of my father's slave-girl as he was born on his bed." So they both went to the Prophet ﷺ. Sa'd said, "O Allāh's Messenger! (This is) the son of my brother, and he told me to be his custodian." Then 'Abd bin Zam'a said, "(But he is) my brother and the son of the slave-girl of my father, born on his bed." The Prophet ﷺ said, "This child is for you, O 'Abd bin Zam'a, as the child is for the owner of the bed, and the adulterer receives the stones." He then ordered (his wife) Sauda bint Zam'a to veil herself from that boy as he noticed the boy's resemblance to 'Utba. Since then the boy never saw Sauda till he died.

6749 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: كَانَ عُتْبَةُ عَهِدَ إِلَى أَخِيهِ سَعْدٍ: أَنَّ ابْنَ وَلِيدَةِ زَمْعَةَ مِنِّي، فَاقْبِضْهُ إِلَيْكَ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ عَامَ الفَتْحِ أَخَذَهُ سَعْدٌ، فَقَالَ: ابْنُ أَخِي عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ فِيهِ ، فَقَامَ عَبْدُ بْنُ زَمْعَةَ، فَقَالَ: أَخِي وَابْنُ وَلِيدَةِ أَبِي، وُلِدَ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ، فَتَسَاوَقَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ابْنُ أَخِي، قَدْ كَانَ عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ فِيهِ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ بْنُ زَمْعَةَ: أَخِي وَابْنُ وَلِيدَةِ أَبِي، وُلِدَ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «هُوَ لَكَ يَا عَبْدُ بْنَ زَمْعَةَ، الوَلَدُ لِلْفِرَاشِ وَلِلْعَاهِرِ الحَجَرُ» ثُمَّ قَالَ لِسَوْدَةَ بِنْتِ زَمْعَةَ: «احْتَجِبِي مِنْهُ» لِمَا رَأَى مِنْ شَبَهِهِ بِعُتْبَةَ، فَمَا رَآهَا حَتَّى لَقِيَ اللَّهَ
