Sunan Ibn Majah 2531
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ دُكَيْنٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي يَزِيدَ الضِّنِّيِّ، عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ بِنْتِ سَعْدٍ، - مَوْلاَةِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم - أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم سُئِلَ عَنْ وَلَدِ الزِّنَا فَقَالَ " نَعْلاَنِ أُجَاهِدُ فِيهِمَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ أُعْتِقَ وَلَدَ الزِّنَا " .
Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us; al-Fadl ibn Dukayn narrated to us; Isra'il narrated to us, from Zayd ibn Jubayr, from Abu Yazid al-Dinni, from Maymunah bint Sa'd—the Prophet's freedwoman—that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about children born of zina. He said: 'Two sandals with which I strive in jihad are better than my freeing a child born of zina.'
