( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَنْبَأَ أَبُو الْفَضْلِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، ثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ قَالَتِ:

اخْتَصَمَ سَعْدُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، وَعَبْدُ بْنُ زَمْعَةَ فِي غُلَامٍ فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ: هَذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ابْنُ أَخِي عُتْبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّهُ ابْنُهُ انْظُرْ إِلَى شَبَهِهِ. وَقَالَ عَبْدُ بْنُ زَمْعَةَ: هَذَا أَخِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وُلِدَ عَلَى فِرَاشِ أَبِي مِنْ وَلِيدَتِهِ فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى شَبَهِهِ فَرَأَى شَبَهًا بَيِّنًا بِعُتْبَةَ فَقَالَ: هُوَ لَكَ يَا عَبْدُ، الْوَلَدُ لِلْفِرَاشِ وَلِلْعَاهِرِ الْحَجَرُ وَاحْتَجِبِي مِنْهُ يَا سَوْدَةُ بِنْتَ زَمْعَةَ ". فَلَمْ يَرَ سَوْدَةَ قَطُّ

Saʿd b. Abī Waqqāṣ and ʿAbd b. Zamʿah disputed over a boy. Saʿd said: "O Messenger of Allah, this is the son of my brother ʿUtbah b. Abī Waqqāṣ. He made me promise that he was his son. Look at his resemblance." And ʿAbd b. Zamʿah said: "This is my brother, O Messenger of Allah; he was born on my father's bed (firāsh) to his slave woman." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked at his resemblance and saw a clear resemblance to ʿUtbah. Then he said: "He is yours, O ʿAbd. The child belongs to the bed, and for the adulterer is the stone. And veil yourself from him, O Sawdah bint Zamʿah." And he never saw Sawdah at all.
