أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ اخْتَصَمَ سَعْدُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ وَعَبْدُ بْنُ زَمْعَةَ فِي ابْنِ زَمْعَةَ قَالَ سَعْدٌ أَوْصَانِي أَخِي عُتْبَةُ إِذَا قَدِمْتَ مَکَّةَ فَانْظُرْ ابْنَ وَلِيدَةِ زَمْعَةَ فَهُوَ ابْنِي فَقَالَ عَبْدُ بْنُ زَمْعَةَ هُوَ ابْنُ أَمَةِ أَبِي وُلِدَ عَلَی فِرَاشِ أَبِي فَرَأَی رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَبَهًا بَيِّنًا بِعُتْبَةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْوَلَدُ لِلْفِرَاشِ وَاحْتَجِبِي مِنْهُ يَا سَوْدَةُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3520
It was narrated that ‘Abdullah bin Az-Zubair said: “Zam’ah had a slave woman with whom he used to have intercourse, but he suspected that someone else was also having intercourse with her. She gave birth to a child who resembled the one whom he suspected. Zam’ah died when she was pregnant, and Sawdah mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلمThe Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘The child is the bed’s, but veil yourself from him, Sawdah, for he is not a brother of yours.” (Hasan)
