Abu Umama told of hearing God’s Messenger say in his sermon in the year of the Farewell Pilgrimage, “God has appointed for everyone who has a right what is due to him, and no legacy must be made to an heir.” Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah transmitted it. Tirmidhi added: “The child is attributed to the mother’s husband, but the adulterer gets nothing, and their reckoning is in God’s hands.”
