Sunan Abi Dawud 2156 (Book 12, Hadith 111) #22447
Unlawful Inheritance and Service

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was in a battle and saw a woman who was about to give birth. He expressed his disapproval of the father taking the child as an heir or into his service, as it is not lawful for him.

Abu Al Darda said "The Apostle of Allaah was in a battle. He saw a woman who was nearing the time when she was to deliver a child".He said "Perhaps the master has intercourse with her".. They(the people) said "Yes". He said "I am inclined to invoke a curse on him which will enter his grave with him. How can he make it (the child) an heir when it is not lawful for him? How can he take it into his service when that is not lawful for him?"
حَدَّثَنَا النُّفَيْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مِسْكِينٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ خُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَانَ فِي غَزْوَةٍ فَرَأَى امْرَأَةً مُجِحًّا فَقَالَ ‏"‏ لَعَلَّ صَاحِبَهَا أَلَمَّ بِهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا نَعَمْ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَلْعَنَهُ لَعْنَةً تَدْخُلُ مَعَهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ كَيْفَ يُوَرِّثُهُ وَهُوَ لاَ يَحِلُّ لَهُ وَكَيْفَ يَسْتَخْدِمُهُ وَهُوَ لاَ يَحِلُّ لَهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about inheritance and service being unlawful if the father of the child is not known. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was in a battle when he saw a woman who was nearing her time to deliver a child. He asked if the master had intercourse with her, to which they replied yes. He then expressed his disapproval of taking this child as an heir or into service, as it is not lawful for him since he does not know who its father is. This teaches us that we should be careful when dealing with matters related to inheritance and service, especially if there are doubts regarding its legitimacy. We should always ensure that all laws are followed so that justice can be served properly and fairly.
