‘Abd al-Jabbar ibn al-‘Ala’ ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar al-‘Attar and Sa‘id ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman al-Makhzumi narrated to us; they said: Sufyan narrated to us, from al-Zuhri, from Sa‘id ibn al-Musayyab, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: A man from Banu Fazara came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, ‘Messenger of Allah, my wife has given birth to a dark-skinned boy.’ The Prophet asked, ‘Do you have camels?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ He asked, ‘What colors are they?’ He replied, ‘Red.’ He asked, ‘Are there any grayish ones among them?’ He said, ‘Yes, there are grayish ones.’ He asked, ‘How did that happen?’ He said, ‘Perhaps a lineage trait drew it out.’ He replied, ‘Then perhaps this child inherited a lineage trait as well.’ Abu ‘Isa said: This is a hasan sahih hadith.
