A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! A black child has been born for me." The Prophet asked him, "Have you got camels?" The man said, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "What color are they?" The man replied, "Red." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Is there a grey one among them?' The man replied, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whence comes that?" He said, "May be it is because of heredity." The Prophet ﷺ said, "May be your latest son has this color because of heredity."  

أَنَّ رَجُلاً أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وُلِدَ لِي غُلاَمٌ أَسْوَدُ فَقَالَ هَلْ لَكَ مِنْ إِبِلٍ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ مَا أَلْوَانُهَا قَالَ حُمْرٌ قَالَ هَلْ فِيهَا مِنْ أَوْرَقَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَأَنَّى ذَلِكَ قَالَ لَعَلَّهُ نَزَعَهُ عِرْقٌ قَالَ فَلَعَلَّ ابْنَكَ هَذَا نَزَعَهُ  

A bedouin came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "My wife has delivered a black child." The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Have you camels?" He replied, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ said, "What color are they?" He replied, "They are red." The Prophet ﷺ further asked, "Are any of them gray in color?" He replied, "Yes." The Prophet asked him, "Whence did that grayness come?" He said, "I thing it descended from the camel's ancestors." Then the Prophet ﷺ said (to him), "Therefore, this child of yours has most probably inherited the color from his ancestors."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَاءَهُ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ امْرَأَتِي وَلَدَتْ غُلاَمًا أَسْوَدَ فَقَالَ هَلْ لَكَ مِنْ إِبِلٍ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ مَا أَلْوَانُهَا قَالَ حُمْرٌ قَالَ فِيهَا مِنْ أَوْرَقَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَأَنَّى كَانَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ أُرَاهُ عِرْقٌ نَزَعَهُ قَالَ فَلَعَلَّ ابْنَكَ هَذَا نَزَعَهُ عِرْقٌ  

There came a person to the Prophet (may peace he upon him) ) from Banu Fazara and said: My wife has given birth to a child who is black, whereupon Allah's Apostle ﷺ said: Have you any camels? He said: Yes. He again said: What is this colour? He said: They are red. He said: Is there a dusky one among them? He said: Yes, there are dusky ones among them He said: How has it come about? He said: It is perhaps the strain to which it has reverted, whereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: It is perhaps the strain to which he (the child) has reverted.  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي فَزَارَةَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ امْرَأَتِي وَلَدَتْ غُلاَمًا أَسْوَدَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ هَلْ لَكَ مِنْ إِبِلٍ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَمَا أَلْوَانُهَا قَالَ حُمْرٌ قَالَ هَلْ فِيهَا مِنْ أَوْرَقَ قَالَ إِنَّ فِيهَا لَوُرْقًا قَالَ فَأَنَّى أَتَاهَا ذَلِكَ قَالَ عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ نَزَعَهُ عِرْقٌ قَالَ وَهَذَا عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ نَزَعَهُ عِرْقٌ  

A desert Arab came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: My wife has given birth to a dark-complexioned child and I have disowned him. Thereupon Allah's Apostle ﷺ said: Have you any camels? He said: Yes. He said: What is their colour? He said? They are red. He said: Is there anyone dusky among them? He said: Yes. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: How has it come about? He said: Messenger of Allah, it is perhaps due to the strain to which it has reverted, whereupon the Prophet ﷺ said: It (the birth) of the black child may be due to the strain to which he (the child) might have reverted.  

يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ امْرَأَتِي وَلَدَتْ غُلاَمًا أَسْوَدَ وَإِنِّي أَنْكَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ هَلْ لَكَ مِنْ إِبِلٍ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ مَا أَلْوَانُهَا قَالَ حُمْرٌ قَالَ فَهَلْ فِيهَا مِنْ أَوْرَقَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَنَّى هُوَ قَالَ لَعَلَّهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَكُونُ نَزَعَهُ عِرْقٌ لَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَهَذَا لَعَلَّهُ يَكُونُ نَزَعَهُ عِرْقٌ لَهُ

Because of this, the Messenger of Allah decreed the following: 'It is not allowed for a man, to disown a child who was born on his bed, unless he claimed that he had seen an immoral act (Fahishah).'"  

بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي وُلِدَ لِي غُلاَمٌ أَسْوَدُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَنَّى كَانَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ مَا أَدْرِي قَالَ فَهَلْ لَكَ مِنْ إِبِلٍ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَمَا أَلْوَانُهَا قَالَ حُمْرٌ قَالَ فَهَلْ فِيهَا جَمَلٌ أَوْرَقُ قَالَ فِيهَا إِبِلٌ وُرْقٌ قَالَ فَأَنَّى كَانَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ مَا أَدْرِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ نَزَعَهُ عِرْقٌ قَالَ وَهَذَا لَعَلَّهُ نَزَعَهُ عِرْقٌ فَمِنْ أَجْلِهِ قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ هَذَا لاَ يَجُوزُ لِرَجُلٍ أَنْ يَنْتَفِيَ مِنْ وَلَدٍ وُلِدَ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَزْعُمَ أَنَّهُ رَأَى فَاحِشَةً

He replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ further asked, "So, how do you see it?" He replied, "I think it is due to the lineage." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Likewise, this black color is due to the lineage."

The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Do they have any striped ones?" He replied, "Yes, there are striped ones among them." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "And what is the reason for that?" He said, "Perhaps it is because of an artery that has been removed." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, "And perhaps this (black color) is also because of an artery that has been removed."

(Using translation from Nasāʾī 3480)  

بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي وُلِدَ لِي غُلَامٌ أَسْوَدُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «فَأَنَّى كَانَ ذَلِكَ؟» قَالَ مَا أَدْرِي قَالَ «فَهَلْ لَكَ مِنْ إِبِلٍ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَمَا أَلْوَانُهَا؟» قَالَ حُمْرٌ قَالَ «فَهَلْ فِيهَا جَمَلٌ أَوْرَقُ؟» قَالَ فِيهَا إِبِلٌ وُرْقٌ قَالَ «فَأَنَّى كَانَ ذَلِكَ؟» قَالَ مَا أَدْرِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ نَزَعَهُ عِرْقٌ قَالَ «وَهَذَا لَعَلَّهُ نَزَعَهُ عِرْقٌ» فَمِنْ أَجْلِهِ «قَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هَذَا لَا يَجُوزُ لِرَجُلٍ أَنْ يَنْتَفِيَ مِنْ وَلَدٍ وُلِدَ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَزْعُمَ أَنَّهُ رَأَى فَاحِشَةً»  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was approached by a Bedouin man who said, "O Messenger of Allah, in the narration of Al-Shafi'i, it is mentioned that a man from the desert came to the Prophet ﷺ and said to him, 'Indeed, my wife has given birth to a dark-skinned boy.' The Prophet ﷺ said to him, 'Do you have any camels?' He replied, 'Yes.' The Prophet ﷺ asked, 'What color are they?' He answered, 'Red.'" The Prophet ﷺ then asked, 'Are there any gray ones among them?' He replied, 'Yes.' The Prophet ﷺ asked, 'How do you see that?' He said, 'By a vein that I removed.' So the Prophet ﷺ said, 'Perhaps this vein is the cause.'  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ الشَّافِعِيِّ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّ امْرَأَتِي وَلَدَتْ غُلَامًا أَسْوَدَ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ هَلْ لَكَ مِنْ إِبِلٍ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَمَا أَلْوَانُهَا؟ قَالَ حُمْرٌ قَالَ فَهَلْ فِيهَا مِنْ أَوْرَقَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَنَّى تَرَى ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ عِرْقًا نَزَعَهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَلَعَلَّ هَذَا نَزَعَهُ عِرْقٌ  

[Machine] "A Bedouin man from the tribe of Banu Fazara came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'Indeed, my wife has given birth to a dark-skinned boy.' The Prophet ﷺ said to him, 'Do you have any camels?' He replied, 'Yes.' The Prophet ﷺ asked, 'What are their colors?' He answered, 'Red.' The Prophet ﷺ then asked, 'Do any of them have white markings?' He replied, 'Yes, some of them have white markings.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Perhaps it is from the genes of one of them that the child inherited this.' The phrase 'perhaps it is from the genes of one of them' is a narration from Imam Shafi'i, and in the narration of Qutaiba, it mentions that a man from the tribe of Banu Fazara came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'Perhaps it is from the genes of one of them.'"  

أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا مِنْ بَنِي فَزَارَةَ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ امْرَأَتِي وَلَدَتْ غُلَامًا أَسْوَدَ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ هَلْ لَكَ مِنْ إِبِلٍ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَمَا أَلْوَانُهَا؟ قَالَ حُمْرٌ قَالَ هَلْ فِيهَا مِنْ أَوْرَقَ؟ قَالَ إِنَّ فِيهَا لَوُرْقًا قَالَ فَأَنَّى أَصَابَهَا ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ لَعَلَّهُ عِرْقٌ نَزَعَهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَهَذَا لَعَلَّهُ نَزَعَهُ عِرْقٌ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ الشَّافِعِيِّ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ قُتَيْبَةَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي فَزَارَةَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَقَالَ عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ نَزَعَهُ عِرْقٌ  

A bedouin came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "My wife has delivered a black child." The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Have you camels?" He replied, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ said, "What color are they?" He replied, "They are red." The Prophet ﷺ further asked, "Are any of them gray in color?" He replied, "Yes." The Prophet asked him, "Whence did that grayness come?" He said, "I thing it descended from the camel's ancestors." Then the Prophet ﷺ said (to him), "Therefore, this child of yours has most probably inherited the color from his ancestors." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6847)

The man replied, "Yes." He then asked, "What color are they?" The man replied, "Red." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "Do they have any spots?" The man replied, "Yes." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Perhaps your son inherited that trait from them."
