Narrated `Aisha: Sa`d bin Abi Waqqas and 'Abu bin Zam`a quarreled over a boy. Sa`d said, O Allah's Apostle! This boy is the son of my brother (`Utba bin Abi Waqqas) who took a promise from me that I would take him as he was his (illegal) son. Look at him and see whom he resembles. 'Abu bin Zam`a said, O Allah's Apostle! This is my brother and was born on my father's bed from his slave-girl. Allah's Apostle cast a look at the boy and found definite resemblance to `Utba and then said, The boy is for you, O 'Abu bin Zam`a. The child goes to the owner of the bed and the adulterer gets nothing but the stones (despair, i.e. to be stoned to death). Then the Prophet said, O Sauda bint Zama! Screen yourself from this boy. So, Sauda never saw him again.
