عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَا تَزَالُ أُمَّتِي بِخَيْرٍ مَا لَمْ يَفْشُ فِيهِمْ وَلَدُ الزِّنَا فَإِذَا فَشَا فِيهِمْ وَلَدُ الزِّنَا فَيُوشِكُ أَنْ يَعُمَّهُمُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِعِقَابٍ
Narrated by Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyida Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her): The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: My Ummah will remain upon goodness as long as illegitimate children do not become numerous among them. When illegitimate children become numerous among them, it will be near that Allah Almighty will inflict a general punishment upon them.
