Sahih al-Bukhari 2218
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ أَنَّهَا قَالَتِ اخْتَصَمَ سَعْدُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ وَعَبْدُ بْنُ زَمْعَةَ فِي غُلاَمٍ، فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ هَذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ابْنُ أَخِي عُتْبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، عَهِدَ إِلَىَّ أَنَّهُ ابْنُهُ، انْظُرْ إِلَى شَبَهِهِ. وَقَالَ عَبْدُ بْنُ زَمْعَةَ هَذَا أَخِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وُلِدَ عَلَى فِرَاشِ أَبِي مِنْ وَلِيدَتِهِ. فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلَى شَبَهِهِ، فَرَأَى شَبَهًا بَيِّنًا بِعُتْبَةَ، فَقَالَ " هُوَ لَكَ يَا عَبْدُ، الْوَلَدُ لِلْفِرَاشِ وَلِلْعَاهِرِ الْحَجَرُ وَاحْتَجِبِي مِنْهُ يَا سَوْدَةُ بِنْتَ زَمْعَةَ ". فَلَمْ تَرَهُ سَوْدَةُ قَطُّ.
Qutayba narrated to us: al-Layth narrated to us, from Ibn Shihab, from Urwa, from Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, who said: “Sad ibn Abi Waqqas and Abd ibn Zam a disputed a boy. Sad said: Messenger of Allah, this is the son of my brother Utba ibn Abi Waqqas. He told me that the boy was his son. Look at how he resembles him. Abd ibn Zam a said: Messenger of Allah, this is my brother. He was born on my father bed to his enslaved woman. The Messenger of Allah looked at the boy and saw a clear resemblance to Utba. He said: He is yours, Abd. The child belongs to the marriage bed, and the adulterer gets only the stone. Sawda bint Zam a, veil yourself from him. Sawda never saw him again.”
Translation notes
The expression “the adulterer gets only the stone” is retained as the Arabic legal formula. The English witness adds an interpretation about stoning to death, which is not stated in the Arabic wording. The boy is assigned to Abd ibn Zam a by the bed principle despite the observed resemblance to Utba.
