English translation

2531. It was narrated from Maimunah bint Sa’d, the freed slave woman of the Prophet ﷺ, that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was asked about illegitimate children. He said: “Two sandals in which I wage jihād are better than freeing an illegitimate child.” (Da’if)

Arabic text

2531 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ دُكَيْنٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي يَزِيدَ الضِّنِّيِّ، عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ بِنْتِ سَعْدٍ، مَوْلَاةِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُئِلَ عَنْ وَلَدِ الزِّنَا، فَقَالَ: «نَعْلَانِ أُجَاهِدُ فِيهِمَا، خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ أُعْتِقَ وَلَدَ الزِّنَا»
