Sunan Ibn Majah, 2746

Rapporté par ‘Amr bin Shu’aib, d’après son père, d’après son grand-père : Le Messager d’Allah (ﷺ) a dit : « Tout enfant attribué à son père après la mort de celui-ci, et dont les héritiers l’ont attribué à lui après sa mort, il a jugé que celui qui est né d’une esclave qu’il possédait au moment de la relation, il doit porter le nom de celui auquel il est attribué, mais il n’a pas de part dans un héritage déjà distribué. Pour tout héritage non encore distribué, il y aura une part. Mais il ne peut pas porter le nom de son père si l’homme qu’il revendique comme père ne l’a pas reconnu. S’il est né d’une esclave que son père ne possédait pas, ou d’une femme libre avec laquelle il a commis l’adultère, alors il ne peut pas porter son nom et n’hérite pas de lui, même si l’homme qu’il revendique comme père le reconnaît. Il est donc un enfant illégitime qui appartient à la famille de sa mère, qui qu’ils soient, que ce soit une femme libre ou une esclave. »

It was narrated from ‘Amr bin Shu’aib, from his father, from his grandfather, that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:“Every child who is attributed to his father after his father to whom he is attributed has died, and his heirs attributed him to him after he died, he ruled that* whoever was born to a slave woman whom he owned at the time when he had intercourse with her, he should be named after the one to whom he was attributed, but he has no share of any inheritance that was distributed previously. Whatever inheritance he finds has not yet been distributed, he will have a share of it. But he cannot be named after his father if the man whom he claimed as his father did not acknowledge him. If he as born to a slave woman whom his father did not own, or to a free woman with whom he committed adultery, then he cannot be named after him and he does not inherit from him, even if the one whom he claims as his father acknowledges him. So he is an illegitimate child who belongs to his mother’s people, whoever they are, whether she is a free woman or a slave.”
