أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الْكَرِيمِ قَالَ:
كَانَ أَبُو وَلَدِ زِنًا قَدْ عُرِفَ ذَلِكَ يُكْثِرُ أَنْ يَمُرَّ بِالنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَيَقُولُ النَّاسُ: هُوَ رَجُلُ سُوءٍ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: هُوَ خَيْرُ الثَّلَاثَةِ - لِلْأَبِ -، فَحَوَّلَهُ النَّاسُ فَقَالُوا: الْوَلَدُ هُوَ شَرُّ الثَّلَاثَةِ
Translation
Machine translation, not reviewed
The father of a child of fornication, who was known for that, used to pass by the Prophet ﷺ frequently, and people would say: "He is a bad man." The Prophet ﷺ said: "He is the best of the three" (for the father), so the people reversed it and said: "The child is the worst of the three."
