CHAPTER: Doubting The Child’s Paternity.
Abu Hurairah said A man from Banu Fazarah came to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and said “My wife has given birth to a black son”. He said “Have you any camels?” He said “They are red”. He asked “Is there a dusky one among them?” He replied “Some of them are dusky”. He asked “How do you think they have come about?” He replied “This may be a strain to which they reverted”. He said “And this is perhaps a strain to which the child has reverted. ”
The tradition mentioned above has also been narrated by Al Zuhri through a different chain of narrators to the same effect. This version adds “At that time he was hinting at disowning the child. ”
Narrated Abu Hurairah: A bedouin came to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم, and said: My wife has given birth to a black son, and I disown him. He then narrated the rest of the tradition to the same effect.
Narrated Abu Hurairah: Abu Hurairah heard the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم say when the verse about invoking curses came down: Any woman who brings to her family one who does not belong to it has nothing to do with Allah (i. e. expects no mercy from Allah), and Allah will not bring her into His Paradise. Allah, the Exalted, will veil Himself from any man who disowns his child when he looks at him, and disgrace him in the presence of all creatures, first and last.
