Narrated Aisha:`Utba bin Abu Waqqas took a firm promise from his brother Sa`d bin Abu Waqqas to take the son of the slave-girl of Zam`a into his custody as he was his (i.e. `Utba's) son. In the year of the Conquest (of Mecca) Sa`d bin Abu Waqqas took him, and said that he was his brother's son, and his brother took a promise from him to that effect. 'Abu bin Zam`a got up and said, "He is my brother and the son of the slave-girl of my father and was born on my father's bed." Then they both went to the Prophet (ﷺ) Sa`d said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! He is the son of my brother and he has taken a promise from me that I will take him." 'Abu bin Zam`a said, "(He is) my brother and the son of my father's slave-girl and was born on my father's bed." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The boy is for you. O 'Abu bin Zam`a." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The son is for the bed (i.e. the man on whose bed he was born) and stones (disappointment and deprivation) for the one who has done illegal sexual intercourse." The Prophet (ﷺ) told his wife Sauda bint Zam`a to screen herself from that boy as he noticed a similarity between the boy and `Utba. So, the boy did not see her till he died.

Sahih
It is related that 'A'isha said, "'Utba ibn Abi Waqqas took an undertaking from his brother, Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas, 'The son of the slavegirl of Zam'a is my son. Please take possession of him.'" She said, "In the year of the Conquest, Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas took him and said, 'He is my nephew, I gave an undertaking about him.' 'Abd ibn Zam'a stood up and said, 'He is my brother, the son of my father's slavegirl. He was born on his bed.' They both went to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and Sa'd said, 'Messenger of Allah, he is my nephew. I gave an undertaking about him.' 'Abd ibn Zam'a said, 'He is my brother and the son of my father's slave. He was born on his bed.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'He is yours, 'Abd ibn Zam'a.' Then the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, ' The child belongs to the bed and stones are for the adulterer.' Then he said to Sawda bint Zam'a, the wife of the Prophet, 'Veil yourself from him,' because of the resemblance he saw in him to 'Utba. He did not see her until he met Allah [i.e. died]."
