al-Intisaab ila Ghair al-Abb - You must know it is forbidden to attribute yourself to someone other than your father. Allah says,

“Never has Allah endowed any man with two hearts in one body: and [just as] He has never made your wives whom you may have declared to be “as unlawful to you as your mothers’ bodies” [truly] your mothers, so, too, has He never made your adopted sons [truly] your sons: these are but [figures of] speech uttered by your mouths - whereas Allah speaks the [absolute] truth: and it is He alone who can show [you] the right path. all them by their [real] fathers’ names: this is more equitable in the sight of Allah; and if you know not who their fathers were, [call them] your brethren in faith and your friends. However, you will incur no sin if you err in this respect: [what really matters is] but what your hearts intend - for Allah is indeed much-forgiv¬ing, a dispenser of grace!” al-Qur’an, Surah al-Ahzaab, 33: 4-5

Sa’(ra) ibn Abi Waqqas (ra) narrated that the Prophet (saw) said,

“Whoever claimed to be the son of other than his real father, knowing that he is not really his father, Jannah will be forbidden for him.” Saheeh al-Bukhari and Saheeh al-Muslim
