أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، - مَوْلًى لَهُمْ - عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، قَالَ كَانَتْ لِزَمْعَةَ جَارِيَةٌ يَطَؤُهَا هُوَ وَكَانَ يَظُنُّ بِآخَرَ يَقَعُ عَلَيْهَا فَجَاءَتْ بِوَلَدٍ شِبْهِ الَّذِي كَانَ يَظُنُّ بِهِ فَمَاتَ زَمْعَةُ وَهِيَ حُبْلَى فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ سَوْدَةُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " الْوَلَدُ لِلْفِرَاشِ وَاحْتَجِبِي مِنْهُ يَا سَوْدَةُ فَلَيْسَ لَكِ بِأَخٍ "
Ishaq ibn Ibrahim informed us; he said: Jarir informed us, from Mansur, from Mujahid, from Yusuf ibn al-Zubayr—a client of theirs—from Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr, who said: Zam'ah had a slave woman with whom he had intercourse, and he suspected another man of having intercourse with her. She gave birth to a child resembling the man he suspected. Zam'ah died while she was pregnant, and Sawdah mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah. The Messenger of Allah said, ‘The child belongs to the marital bed. Veil yourself from him, Sawdah, for he is not a brother of yours.’
Translation notes
The chain describes Yusuf ibn al-Zubayr as a mawla of their group; ‘client’ preserves that relationship without specifying its direction.
