Sahih al-Bukhari 2633 (Book 55, Hadith 8)
Waqqas 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 Mecca) Sa`d took the boy and said, “This is my brother’s son
whom my brother entrusted to me.” ‘Abu bin Zam’s 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 Allah’s
Apostle and Sa`d said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! This is my brother’s son whom my brother entrusted to
me.”
Then ‘Abu bin Zam`a got up and said, “This is my brother and the son of the slave-girl of my father.”
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “O Abu 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 (i.e. deprivation).” 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.
