Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ وَأَبُو نُعَيْمٍ قَالَا ثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي يَزِيدَ الضَّنِّيِّ عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ بِنْتِ سَعْدٍ مَوْلَاةِ النَّبِيِّ
صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ وَلَدِ الزِّنَا قَالَ لَا خَيْرَ فِيهِ نَعْلَانِ أُجَاهِدُ بِهِمَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أُعْتِقَ وَلَدَ زِنًا

English Translation
It was narrated from a female Companion (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about the child born of fornication. He said: 'There is no good in him. Two sandals with which I fight in the way of Allah are more beloved to me than freeing a child of fornication.'"
