\nNarrated `Aisha:\n\n
`Utba bin Abi Waqqas authorized his brother Sa`d to take the son of the slave-girl of Zam`a into his \ncustody. `Utba said (to him). \"He is my son.\" When Allah's Apostle arrived in Mecca during the \nConquest (of Mecca), Sa`d bin Abi Waqqas took the son of the slave-girl of Zam`a and took him to \nthe Prophet `Abd bin Zam`a too came along with him. Sa`d said. \"This is the son of my brother and \nthe latter has informed me that he is his son.\" `Abd bin Zam`a said, \"O Allah's Apostle! This is my \nbrother who is the son of the slave-girl of Zam`a and was born on his (i.e. Zam'as) bed.' Allah's \nApostle looked at the son of the slave-girl of Zam`a and noticed that he, of all the people had the \ngreatest resemblance to `Utba bin Abi Waqqas. Allah's Apostle then said (to `Abd), \" He is yours; he \nis your brother, O `Abd bin Zam`a, he was born on the bed (of your father).\" (At the same time) \nAllah's Apostle said (to his wife Sauda), \"Veil yourself before him (i.e. the son of the slave-girl) O \nSauda,\" because of the resemblance he noticed between him and `Utba bin Abi Waqqas. Allah's \nApostle added, \"The boy is for the bed (i.e. for the owner of the bed where he was born), and stone is \nfor the adulterer.\" (Ibn Shihab said, \"Abu Huraira used to say that (i.e. the last statement of the \nProphet in the above Hadith 596, publicly.\")","english_grade":"Sahih","last_updated":null,"xrefs":""}
