Narrated Aisha:
Abu bin Zam'a and Sad bin Abi Waqqas carried the case of their claim of the (ownership) of the
son of a slave-qirl of Zam'a before the Prophet. Sad said, "O Allah's Apostle! My brother, before his
death, told me that when I would return (to Mecca), I should search for the son of the slave-girl of
Zam'a and take him into my custody as he was his son." 'Abu bin Zam'a said, 'the is my brother and
the son of the slave-girl of my father, and was born or my father's bed." The Prophet noticed a re –
semblance between Utba and the boy but he said, "O 'Abu bin Zam'a! You will get this boy, as the son
goes to the owner of the bed. You, Sauda, screen yourself from the boy."
