Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that Sayyiduna Abd bin Zam‘a and Sayyiduna Sa‘d (may Allah be pleased with them both) argued about the son of Zam‘a’s slave woman. Sayyiduna Sa‘d (may Allah be pleased with him) said: My brother made a bequest to me that when I come to Mecca, I should take the son of Zam‘a’s slave woman into my custody, because he is my son. Abd bin Zam‘a said: This is the son of my father’s slave woman and was born on my father’s bed. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), seeing the clear resemblance to ‘Utbah (Sa‘d’s brother), said: Abd bin Zam‘a! The child is yours, for the child belongs to the bed (i.e., to the owner of the bed). And (Lady) Sawda (bint Zam‘a) (may Allah be pleased with her)! You should observe veil from this boy.
