I was intimate with her and she bore me a boy who was black like me and i named him 'Abdullah. Then l was intimate with her again and she bore me a boy who was black like me, and I named him Ubaidullah. Then she was corrupted by a Roman slave of my masters, whose name was Yuhannas and he spoke to her in their language. Then she gave birth to a boy who looked like a lizard (ie, was very fair). I said to her: What is this? She said: He is the child of Yohannas. So we referred the case to Ameer al-Mu'mineen 'Uthman (رضي الله عنه) - Mahdi said: I think he said: And he asked then both- and they confessed. He said. Will you agree to me passing judgement between you according to the judgement of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ? He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruled that the child be attributed to the (husband of the) woman, and the fornicator gets nothing. Mahdi said: and I think he said: He flogged her and him, and they were both slaves, It was narrated from Rabah. he mentioned a similar hadeeth. He said: I took them to Ameer al-Mu'mineen 'Uthman bin 'Affan Yohannas, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruled that the child be attributed to (the husband of the woman. and he mentioned a similar report
