Hadith 3:18

Bahz narrated to us, Mahdi ibn Maymun informed us, Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Ya'qub narrated to us, from al-Hasan ibn Sa'd, the freed slave of al-Hasan ibn Ali, from Rabah, who said: My family married me to a Roman slave girl of theirs. I had intercourse with her, and she bore me a black boy like myself, so I named him Abdullah. Then I had intercourse with her, and she bore me a black boy like myself, so I named him Ubaydullah. Then a Roman slave of my family, called Yuhannis, became fond of her and spoke to her in his language. He said: She then bore a boy who looked like a gecko among the geckos. I said to her: "What is this?" She said: "He is Yuhannis'." He said: We were brought before the Commander of the Faithful, Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him—Mahdi said: I think he said: He questioned them both and they confessed—so he said: "Are you both satisfied that I judge between you with the judgment of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him?" He said: "For the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, judged that the child belongs to the bed, and for the adulterer is the stone." Mahdi said: And I think he said: He flogged her and he flogged him, and they were both slaves.

حدثنا بهز، أخبرنا مهدي بن ميمون، حدثنا محمد بن عبد الله بن أبي يعقوب، عن الحسن بن سعد مولى الحسن بن علي عن رباح قال: زوجني أهلي أمة لهم رومية، فوقعت عليها فولدت لي غلاما أسود مثلي، فسميته عبد الله، ثم وقعت عليها فولدت لي غلاما أسود مثلي فسميته عبيد الله، ثم طبن لها غلام لأهلي رومي يقال له: يوحنس، فراطنها بلسانه، قال: فولدت غلاما كأنه وزغة من الوزغان، فقلت لها: ما هذا؟ قالت: هو ليوحنس، قال: فرفعنا إلى أمير المؤمنين عثمان رضي الله عنه - قال مهدي: أحسبه قال: سألهما فاعترفا - فقال: أترضيان أن أقضي بينكما بقضاء رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم؟ قال: فإن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قضى أن الولد للفراش، وللعاهر الحجر. قال مهدي: وأحسبه قال: جلدها وجلده، وكانا مملوكين .
