\nNarrated `Aisha:\n\n
(the wife of the Prophet) `Utba bin Abi Waqqas entrusted (his son) to his brother Sa`d bin Abi \nWaqqas saying, \"The son of the slave-girl of Zam`a is my (illegal) son, take him into your custody.\" \nSo during the year of the Conquest (of Mecca) Sa`d took the boy and said, \"This is my brother's son \nwhom my brother entrusted to me.\" 'Abu bin Zam's got up and said, \"He is my brother and the son of \nthe slave girl of my father and was born on my father's bed.\" Then both of them came to Allah's \nApostle and Sa`d said, \"O Allah's Apostle! This is my brother's son whom my brother entrusted to \nme.\" \nThen 'Abu bin Zam`a got up and said, \"This is my brother and the son of the slave-girl of my father.\" \nAllah's Apostle said, \"O Abu bin Zam`a! This boy is for you as the boy belongs to the bed (where he \nwas born), and for the adulterer is the stone (i.e. deprivation).\" Then the Prophet said to his wife \nSauda bint Zam`a, \"Screen yourself from this boy,\" when he saw the boy's resemblance to `Utba. \nSince then the boy did not see Sauda till he died.","english_grade":"Sahih","last_updated":null,"xrefs":""}
