حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا مَهْدِيُّ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَحَدَّثَنِي رَبَاحٌ قَالَ
زَوَّجَنِي مَوْلَايَ جَارِيَةً رُومِيَّةً، فَوَقَعْتُ عَلَيْهَا، فَوَلَدَتْ لِي غُلَامًا أَسْوَدَ مِثْلِي، فَسَمَّيْتُهُ عَبْدَ اللهِ، ثُمَّ وَقَعْتُ عَلَيْهَا، فَوَلَدَتْ لِي غُلَامًا أَسْوَدَ مِثْلِي، فَسَمَّيْتُهُ عُبَيْدَ اللهِ، ثُمَّ طَبِنَ لِي غُلَامٌ رُومِيٌّ قَالَ: حَسِبْتُهُ قَالَ: لِأَهْلِي رُومِيٌّ يُقَالُ لَهُ: يُوحَنَّسُ، فَرَاطَنَهَا بِلِسَانِهِ يَعْنِي: بِالرُّومِيَّةِ، فَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا، فَوَلَدَتْ لَهُ غُلَامًا أَحْمَرَ كَأَنَّهُ وَزَغَةٌ مِنَ الْوِزْغَانِ، فَقُلْتُ لَهَا: مَا هَذَا ؟ فَقَالَتْ: هَذَا مِنْ يُوحَنَّسَ قَالَ: فَارْتَفَعْنَا إِلَى عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ وَأَقَرَّا جَمِيعًا، فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ: إِنْ شِئْتُمْ قَضَيْتُ بَيْنَكُمْ بِقَضِيَّةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَضَى أَنَّ الْوَلَدَ لِلْفِرَاشِ قَالَ: حَسِبْتُهُ قَالَ: وَجَلَدَهُمَا.

✧ My master married me to a Roman slave girl, and I had intercourse with her. She bore me a black boy like me, and I named him Abdullah. Then I had intercourse with her again, and she bore me a black boy like me, and I named him Ubaydullah. Then a Roman slave boy served me — I think he said: a Roman belonging to my family called Yuhannis — and he spoke privately with her in his tongue, meaning in Greek, and had intercourse with her. She bore him a red boy like a gecko from among the geckos. I said to her: What is this? She said: This is from Yuhannis. He said: We brought the case before Uthman b. Affan, and they both confessed. Uthman said: If you wish, I will judge between you with the judgment of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruled that the child belongs to the bed. He said: I think he said: And he had them both flogged.

- Dāraquṭnī
سئل عنه الدارقطني فقال رواه مهدي بن ميمون وجرير بن حازم عن محمد بن عبد الله بن أبي يعقوب عن الحسن بن سعد عن رباح عن عثمان وخالفهم حجاج بن أرطأة فرواه عن الحسن بن سعد عن أبيه وأسند الحديث عن علي بن أبي طالب عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم والقول الأول أصح
machine translationAl-Dāraquṭnī was asked about it and said: Mahdī b. Maymūn and Jarīr b. Ḥāzim narrated it from Muḥammad b. ʿAbdullāh b. Abī Yaʿqūb, from al-Ḥasan b. Saʿd, from Rabāḥ, from ʿUthmān. Ḥajjāj b. Arṭāh contradicted them, so he narrated it from al-Ḥasan b. Saʿd, from his father, and he traced the hadith back to ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib, from the Prophet ﷺ. The first account is more sound (aṣaḥḥ).
