سنن نسائی · Hadith 3522

It was narrated that ‘Aishah said: “Saad bin Abi Waqqas and ‘Abd bin Zam’ah disputed concerning a son of Zam’ah. Sa said: ‘My brother ‘Utbah urged me, if I came to Makkah: Look for the son of the slave woman of Zam’ah, for he is my son.’ ‘Abd bin Zam’ah said: He is the son of my father’s slave woman who was born on my father’s bed.’ The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم saw that he resembled ‘Utbah, but he said: ‘The child is the bed’s. Veil yourself from him, Sawdah.” (Sahih).
