Sahih al-Bukhari 6504 (Book 85, Hadith 26)
his custodian.” So when it was the year of the Conquest of Mecca, Sa`d took that child and said, “He
is my nephew, and my brother told me to be his custodian.” On that, ‘Abu 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. Sa`d said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! (This is) the son of my brother and he told me
to be his custodian.” Then ‘Abu 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 ‘Abu 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 cover herself before that boy as he noticed the boy’s resemblance to `Utba. Since then the
boy had never seen Sauda till he died.
