Arabic text

2006 - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «الْوَلَدُ لِلْفِرَاشِ، وَلِلْعَاهِرِ الْحَجَرُ»

Commentary

'The fornicator gets nothing' or 'the fornicator will have the stone' means he has nothing to do with the child, i.e., he is deprived of legal benefits from the child, like: inheritance etc. Another meaning is that he deserves the punishment and should be stoned to death.
