2002. It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "A man from Banu Fazârah came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, my wife has given birth to a black boy.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Do you have camels?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'What color are they?' He said:
'Red.' He said: 'Are there any grey ones among them?' He said: 'Yes, there are some grey ones among them.' He said: 'Where does that come from?' He said: 'Perhaps it is hereditary.' He said: 'Likewise, perhaps this is hereditary.'" (Sahih)
