Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، وَأَبِي، سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ الْوَلَدُ لِلْفِرَاشِ وَلِلْعَاهِرِ الْحَجَرُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Qutaybah informed us; he said: Sufyan narrated to us, from al-Zuhri, from Sa'id and Abu Salamah, from Abu Hurayrah, that the Prophet said: ‘The child belongs to the marital bed, and the adulterer gets nothing.’

Translation notes
  • The Arabic transmission names Sa'id and Abu Salamah before Abu Hurayrah; the English witness omits those transmitters. The idiomatic final phrase is rendered ‘gets nothing,’ while the English witness gives a literal ‘the stone.’
