On the authority of ʿAbdullah ibn ʿUmar, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever frees a slave who has property, then the slave's property belongs to him, unless the master stipulates otherwise." (1)

13. Chapter on the manumission of the child of fornication

3963 — Ibrāhīm ibn Mūsā narrated to us, Jarīr informed us, on the authority of Suhayl ibn Abī Ṣāliḥ, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Abū Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The child of fornication is the worst of the three." (2)

(1) Its chain of transmission is authentic, though there is a difference of opinion regarding its chain between Nāfiʿ and Sālim ibn ʿAbdullah ibn ʿUmar, as previously explained under number (3434).
It was also narrated by Ibn Mājah (2529) and al-Nasāʾī in al-Kubrā (4962) via the path of ʿUbaydullah ibn Abī Jaʿfar, with this chain.
It was also narrated by al-Nasāʾī (4961) via the path of Ashhab, from al-Layth ibn Saʿd, from ʿUbaydullah ibn Abī Jaʿfar, from Nāfiʿ, from Ibn ʿUmar, omitting Bukayr ibn al-Ashajj from its chain.
See also what preceded under numbers (3433) and (3434).

(2) Its chain of transmission is authentic. Jarīr: he is Ibn ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd.
It was also narrated by al-Nasāʾī in al-Kubrā (4909) via the path of Jarīr ibn ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd, with this chain. Sufyān al-Thawrī said — and he had narrated this ḥadīth from Suhayl, as found in al-Bayhaqī 10/59 — meaning: when he acts according to the deeds of his parents.
However, it is narrated from the Mother of the Believers ʿĀʾishah that she objected to Abū Hurayrah narrating this, and she reported that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, had only intended a specific person. For al-Ṭaḥāwī in Sharḥ Mushkil al-Āthār (910), al-Ḥākim 2/215, and al-Bayhaqī 10/58 narrated via the path of Salamah ibn al-Faḍl, from Muḥammad ibn Isḥāq, from al-Zuhrī, from ʿUrwah, who said: It reached ʿĀʾishah that Abū Hurayrah was saying: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The child of fornication is the worst of the three." So she said: "May Allah have mercy on Abū Hurayrah. He heard badly and answered badly" — thus it appears in the ḥadīth. As for the scholars of language, they say: he heard badly and answered badly.
