Sahih al-Bukhari 2137 (Book 34, Hadith 165)
boy is the son of my brother (`Utba bin Abi Waqqas) who took a promise from me that I would take
him as he was his (illegal) son. Look at him and see whom he resembles.” ‘Abu bin Zam`a said, “O
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! This is my brother and was born on my father’s bed from his slave-girl.” Allah’s
Apostle cast a look at the boy and found definite resemblance to `Utba and then said, “The boy is for
you, O ‘Abu bin Zam`a. The child goes to the owner of the bed and the adulterer gets nothing but the
stones (despair, i.e. to be stoned to death). Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “O Sauda bint Zama! Screen
yourself from this boy.” So, Sauda never saw him again.
“ هُوَ لَكَ يَا عَبْدُ، الْوَلَدُ لِلْفِرَاشِ وَلِلْعَاهِرِ الْحَجَرُ وَاحْتَجِبِي مِنْهُ يَا سَوْدَةُ بِنْتَ زَمْعَةَ ”. فَلَمْ تَرَهُ سَوْدَةُ قَطُّ.
