Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، وَأَبِي، سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ الْوَلَدُ لِلْفِرَاشِ وَلِلْعَاهِرِ الْحَجَرُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Ishaq ibn Ibrahim informed us, from Abd al-Razzaq, who said: Ma'mar 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 includes Ishaq ibn Ibrahim, Abd al-Razzaq, Ma'mar, al-Zuhri, Sa'id, and Abu Salamah; the English witness gives only Abu Hurayrah. The final phrase follows the idiomatic sense rather than the witness’s literal ‘the stone.’
