‘Amr ibn Khārijah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that he was close to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) as he delivered a sermon from above his she-camel, whose saliva was dripping down upon ‘Amr's shoulders. He went on to relate that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) demonstrated a number of rulings in his sermon, as follows: 1. Allah, the Almighty, has allocated to each person his due right and designated share, and therefore it is not permissible to include an heir in the will. 2. The newborn belongs to the bed, i.e. the woman’s husband or master. The adulterer has no claim to the child; rather, he only deserves disappointment and the due punishment for his crime. 3. It is prohibited for a person to be attributed to other than his father or a slave to other than his masters who set him free. The Hadīth makes it clear that whoever does so shall be subject to the curse of Allah, the Almighty, and that Allah shall not accept any act of worship from him, be it obligatory or supererogatory.
