حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ، يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ رَبَاحٍ، قَالَ: زَوَّجَنِي أَهْلِي أَمَةً لَهُمْ رُومِيَّةً، وَلَدَتْ لِي غُلامًا أَسْوَدَ، فَعَلِقَهَا عَبْدٌ رُومِيٌّ يُقَالُ لَهُ: يُوحَنَّسُ، فَجَعَلَ يُرَاطِنُهَا بِالرُّومِيَّةِ، فَحَمَلَتْ، وَقَدْ كَانَتْ وَلَدَتْ لِي غُلامًا أَسْوَدَ مِثْلِي، فَجَاءَتْ بِغُلامٍ كَأَنَّهُ وَزَغَةٌ مِنَ الْوُزْغَانِ، فَقُلْتُ لَهَا: مَا هَذَا؟ فَقَالَتْ: هُوَ مِنْ يُوحَنَّسَ. فَسَأَلْتُ يُوحَنَّسَ فَاعْتَرَفَ، فَأَتَيْتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِمَا فَسَأَلَهُمَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: سَأَقْضِي بَيْنَكُمَا بِقَضَاءِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " الْوَلَدُ لِلْفِرَاشِ، وَلِلْعَاهِرِ الْحَجَرُ ". فَأَلْحَقَهُ بِي، قَالَ: فَجَلَدَهُمَا، فَوَلَدَتْ لِي بَعْدُ غُلامًا أَسْوَدَ (١) .،
