7314. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: A bedouin came to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and said, "My wife has given birth to a black boy, and I suspect that he is not my child." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said to him, "Have you got camels?" The bedouin said, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ said, "What colour are they?" The bedouin said, "They are red." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Are any of them grey (in color)?" He said, "There are grey ones among them." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whence do you think this colour came to them?" The bedouin said, "O Allāh's Messenger! It resulted from hereditary disposition." The Prophet ﷺ said, "And this (i.e., your child) has inherited his colour from his ancestors." The Prophet ﷺ did not allow the bedouin to deny his paternity of the child. (See H. 5305)

7314 - حَدَّثَنَا أَصْبَغُ بْنُ الفَرَجِ ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ امْرَأَتِي وَلَدَتْ غُلاَمًا أَسْوَدَ، وَإِنِّي أَنْكَرْتُهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «هَلْ لَكَ مِنْ إِبِلٍ؟»، قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: «فَمَا أَلْوَانُهَا؟»، قَالَ: حُمْرٌ، قَالَ: «هَلْ فِيهَا مِنْ أَوْرَقَ؟»، قَالَ: إِنَّ فِيهَا لَوُرْقًا، قَالَ: «فَأَنَّى تُرَى ذَلِكَ جَاءَهَا»، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، عِرْقٌ نَزَعَهَا، قَالَ: «وَلَعَلَّ هَذَا عِرْقٌ نَزَعَهُ»، وَلَمْ يُرَخِّصْ لَهُ فِي الِانْتِفَاءِ مِنْهُ
