Musnad Ahmad 502

Translation

✧ 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.
