English translation

2248. It was reported from Ibrāhīm, meaning Ibn Sa'd, from Az-Zuhri, from Sahl bin Sa'd — regarding the narration of the two who pronounced the curse — he said: "The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Watch her closely: If she gives (birth to a child) whose eyes are very black, and whose buttocks are large, then I can only conclude that he told the truth. And if she gives (birth) to one who is reddish in complexion, like a Waharah,[1] then I can only conclude that he lied.'" And then she gave (birth) according to the objectionable characteristics. (Sahih)
