Abdullah bin Ubayd bin Umayr (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) sold one of his slave women before making sure that her womb was clear, and then her pregnancy became apparent while she was with the buyer. The case was brought before Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him): Did you use to have intercourse with her? He admitted it. Then he asked: Did you sell her without making sure that her womb was clear? He admitted it. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: You should not have done that. Then he called the physiognomists; they looked at the child and declared him to be the child of Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him). Afterwards Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman (may Allah be pleased with him) had many children from that slave woman, and no one reproached him for it.

Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Whether you guard these slave women (and keep them chaste) or do not guard them, if any woman among them gives birth to a child on the bed of one of you, that child will be his.
