Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَضَى أَيُّمَا مُسْتَلْحَقٍ اسْتُلْحِقَ بَعْدَ أَبِيهِ الَّذِي يُدْعَى لَهُ ادَّعَاهُ وَرَثَتُهُ قَضَى إِنْ كَانَ مِنْ حُرَّةٍ تَزَوَّجَهَا أَوْ مِنْ أَمَةٍ يَمْلِكُهَا فَقَدْ لَحِقَ بِمَا اسْتَلْحَقَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ مِنْ حُرَّةٍ أَوْ أَمَةٍ عَاهَرَ بِهَا لَمْ يَلْحَقْ بِمَا اسْتَلْحَقَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ أَبُوهُ الَّذِي يُدْعَى لَهُ هُوَ ادَّعَاهُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ زِنْيَةٍ لِأَهْلِ أُمِّهِ مَنْ كَانُوا حُرَّةً أَوْ أَمَةً
English Translation
It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr (رضي الله عنهما) — via Yazid, from Muhammad ibn Rashid, from Sulayman ibn Musa, from 'Amr ibn Shu'ayb, from his father, from his grandfather — that the Prophet ﷺ ruled: 'Any person whose lineage is claimed after his father — the man whose name he bore — has died, and the heirs make the claim: if the child was born from a free woman [the deceased] had married, or from a slave woman he owned, then the lineage is established as claimed. But if it was from a free woman or a slave woman through fornication, then the lineage is not established as claimed. And if the father himself — the one whose name the child bears — had claimed him, and the child is of illegitimate birth, then [the child] belongs to the mother's family — whether they are free or slaves.'
