حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَهْدِيُّ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ:، حَدَّثَنِي رَبَاحٌ، قَالَ: زَوَّجَنِي مَوْلايَ جَارِيَةً رُومِيَّةً، فَوَقَعْتُ عَلَيْهَا فَوَلَدَتْ لِي غُلامًا أَسْوَدَ مِثْلِي، فَسَمَّيْتُهُ عَبْدَ اللهِ، ثُمَّ وَقَعْتُ عَلَيْهَا فَوَلَدَتْ لِي غُلامًا أَسْوَدَ مِثْلِي، فَسَمَّيْتُهُ عُبَيْدَ اللهِ، ثُمَّ طَبِنَ لِي غُلامٌ رُومِيٌّ - قَالَ: حَسِبْتُهُ قَالَ: لِأَهْلِي رُومِيٌّ - يُقَالُ لَهُ: يُوحَنَّسُ، فَرَاطَنَهَا بِلِسَانِهِ - يَعْنِي بِالرُّومِيَّةِ - فَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا فَوَلَدَتْ لَهُ غُلامًا أَحْمَرَ، كَأَنَّهُ وَزَغَةٌ مِنَ الْوُزْغَانِ، فَقُلْتُ لَهَا: مَا هَذَا؟ فَقَالَتْ: هَذَا مِنْ يُوحَنَّسَ. قَالَ: فَارْتَفَعْنَا إِلَى عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ، وَأَقَرَّا جَمِيعًا، فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ: إِنْ شِئْتُمْ (٢) قَضَيْتُ بَيْنَكُمْ بِقَضِيَّةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَضَى: أَنَّ الْوَلَدَ لِلْفِرَاشِ. قَالَ: حَسِبْتُهُ قَالَ: وَجَلَدَهُمَا (٣) .،

It was narrated from al-Hasan bin Sa`d that Rabah said:
My masters married me to a Roman slave girl of theirs. I was intimate with her and she bore me a boy who was black like me and I named him `Abdullah. Then I was intimate with her again and she bore me a boy who was black like me, and I named him ‘Ubaidullah. My masters had a Roman slave whose name was Yuhannas, who spoke to her in his language, i.e. the Roman language. Then he was intimate with her and she bore him a boy who was red like a lizard. I said to her: What is this? She said: He is the child of Yuhannas. So we referred the case to Ameer al Mu`mineen `Uthman (رضي الله عنه) and they both 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 he flogged them.
