Ahadith

Qais ibn Abu Hazim relates that Abu Bakr came upon a woman of Ahas whose name was Zainab and he saw that she did not speak. He inquired: Why does she not speak? He was answered: She has sworn to silence. He said to her: Speak and converse, such silence is not permissible. It is a non- Islamic practice. Thereupon she started speaking (Bokhari).

Sa‘ad ibn Abi Waqqas relates that the Holy Prophet said: He who attributes his fatherhood to someone other than his father knowing that he is not his father will be excluded from Paradise (Bokhari and Muslim).

Abu Hurairah relates that the Holy Prophet said: Do not turn away from your fathers. He who turns away from his father is guilty of disbelief (Bokhari and Muslim).

Abu Dharr relates that he heard the Holy Prophet say: He who deliberately lets himself be called the son of another than his father is guilty of disbelief, and he who claims as his that which does not belong to him is not one of us. Let him prepare his seat in hell. If a person calls another an unbeliever or an enemy of Allah and he is not such he will find that his charge will revert on himself (Bokhari and Muslim).

Abu Hurairah relates that the Holy Prophet said: Allah, the Exalted, is jealous and His jealousy is incited by a person doing that which Allah has forbidden (Bokhari and Muslim).
