Rabah said: My people married me to a Roman slave-girl of theirs. I had intercourse with her; and she gave birth to a black male child like me. I named it Abdullah. I again had intercourse with her; and she gave birth to a black male child like me. I named it Ubaydullah. Then a Roman slave of my people; called Yuhannah; incited her; and spoke to her in his own unintelligible language. She gave birth to a son like a chameleon red. I asked her: What is this? She replied: This belongs to Yuhannah. We then brought the case to Uthman for a decision. I think Mahdi said these words. He inquired from both of them; and they acknowledged the facts. He then said to them: Do you agree that I take the decision about you; which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had taken? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ decided that the child was to attributed to the one on whose bed it was born. And I think he said: He flogged her and flogged him; for they were slaves.
