Hadith 20396

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ الْأَحْوَلُ ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ سَعْدًا يَقُولُ : سَمِعَتْ أُذُنَايَ ، وَوَعَى قَلْبِي أَنَّ : " مَنْ ادَّعَى إِلَى غَيْرِ أَبِيهِ وَهُوَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ غَيْرُ أَبِيهِ ، فَالْجَنَّةُ عَلَيْهِ حَرَامٌ " ، قَالَ : فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا بَكْرَةَ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ ، فَقَالَ : وَأَنَا سَمِعَتْ أُذُنَايَ وَوَعَى قَلْبِي مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
Abu Uthman says that I heard Hazrat Sa’d saying: My ears have heard this from the Prophet (peace be upon him) and my heart has preserved it, that whoever, in the state of Islam, attributes his fatherhood to someone other than his real father, knowing that he is not his father, then Paradise is forbidden for him. And Hazrat Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I too heard this from the Prophet (peace be upon him) with my own ears and preserved it in my heart.
