Sayyida Maymunah bint Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with her), who was a slave woman of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about the child born of adultery. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“There is no good in him. I prefer to strive in the path of Allah with two shoes rather than to free a child born of adultery.”
