One of the signs of the Hour is that the slave-girl gives birth to her mistress [2]

Q: There is a Hadith reported from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) on the authority of `Umar ibn Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) that reads: One of the portents of the Hour is that a slave-girl gives birth to her own mistress. [1] Please explain to me how a slave-girl gives birth to her own mistress?

A: The meaning is that of the portents of the Hour is the spread of concubines among people that a slave-girl gives birth to her mistress after being pregnant from her master. The daughter of the master is a mistress and the son of the master is a master.

Allah is the One Whose help is sought.
