Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَوْسِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَثَلُ الَّذ
ِي يَسْمَعُ الْحِكْمَةَ وَيَتَّبِعُ شَرَّ مَا يَسْمَعُ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ أَتَى رَاعِيًا فَقَالَ لَهُ أَجْزِرْنِي شَاةً مِنْ غَنَمِكَ فَقَالَ اذْهَبْ فَخُذْ بِأُذُنِ خَيْرِهَا شَاةً فَذَهَبَ فَأَخَذَ بِأُذُنِ كَلْبِ الْغَنَمِ

English Translation
Affan narrated to us, Hammad narrated to us, from Ali ibn Zayd, from Aws ibn Khalid, from Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'The child is attributed to the one on whose bed it is born, and the stone is for the fornicator.' And he said: 'Whoever claims to belong to a father other than his father, or a freed slave who claims a patron other than his patron — upon him is the curse of Allah, the angels, and all the people. No obligatory or voluntary deed will be accepted from him.'
