Ahmad ibn Mani narrated to us: Sufyan narrated to us, from al-Zuhri, from Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab, from Abu Hurairah, who said: The Messenger of Allah said: The child belongs to the marital bed, and the adulterer gets nothing. It is also reported in this chapter from Umar, Uthman, Aishah, Abu Umamah, Amr ibn Kharijah, Abd Allah ibn Amr, al-Bara ibn Azib, and Zayd ibn Arqam. Abu Isa said: The hadith of Abu Hurairah is hasan sahih, and scholars act on it. Al-Zuhri also reported it from Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab and Abu Salamah, from Abu Hurairah.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The phrase ‘the child belongs to the marital bed’ assigns lineage to the legally recognized marital relationship; ‘the adulterer gets nothing’ denies the adulterer a claim to the child.
