Musaddad added in his narration and said: "He is your brother, O servant."

2274 - Zuhayr ibn Harb narrated to us, Yazid ibn Harun narrated to us, Husayn al-Mu'allim informed us, from 'Amr ibn Shu'ayb, from his father, from his grandfather, who said: A man stood up and said: "O Messenger of Allah, so-and-so is my son; I committed adultery with his mother in the pre-Islamic period." The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "There is no claim of paternity in Islam; the matter of the pre-Islamic period has passed. The child belongs to the bed, and for the fornicator is the stone."

2275 - Musa ibn Isma'il narrated to us, Mahdi ibn Maymun Abu Yahya narrated to us, Muhammad ibn 'Abdullah ibn Abi Ya'qub narrated to us, from al-Hasan ibn Sa'd, the freed slave of al-Hasan ibn 'Ali ibn Abi Talib

Thus the bed was given its ruling of establishing the prohibition of marriage and other matters, and the resemblance was given its ruling of not establishing mahram status with Sawdah. This is a subtle matter of knowledge and its secret, which only the imams who are well-versed in its depths and concerned with examining the sources of the Law and its mysteries can perceive. Whoever's understanding falls short of this and whose nature is too coarse for it, let him look at the child from breastfeeding—how he is a son in terms of prohibition of marriage but not in inheritance, maintenance, or guardianship. This is useful in the case of a daughter conceived from the sperm of a fornicator: she is his daughter in terms of the prohibition of marrying her according to the majority, but she is not his daughter in terms of inheritance, maintenance, or mahram status.

(1) Its marfu' portion is authentic, and this chain is hasan, as al-Hafiz said in "Fath al-Bari" 12/34.
It was also recorded in full and at length by Ahmad (6681) and (6933), and by Ibn 'Abd al-Barr in "al-Tamhid" 8/182, via the route of Husayn al-Mu'allim, with this chain.
It was also recorded in abbreviated form by Ahmad (6971) via the route of 'Amir al-Ahwal, from 'Amr ibn Shu'ayb, with it. See the rest of its supporting witnesses in "al-Musnad."

Al-Di'wah, with a kasrah on the dal: the claim of paternity. His saying "for the bed" means: for the owner of the bed. The meaning of "the stone" here is deprivation and disappointment. Al-Khattabi said this.
