2003. It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that a man from the desert people came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of Allāh, my wife has given birth on my bed to a black boy, and there are no black people among my family." He said: "Do you have camels?" He said: "Yes." He said: "What color are they?" He said: "Red." He said: "Are there any black ones among them?" He said, "No." He said: "Are there any grey ones among them?" He said: "Yes." He said: "How is that?" He said: "Perhaps it is hereditary." He said: "Perhaps (the color of) this son of yours is also hereditary." (Hasan)

Arabic text

2003 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبَاءَةُ بْنُ كُلَيْبٍ اللَّيْثِيُّ أَبُو غَسَّانَ، عَنْ جُوَيْرِيَةَ بْنِ أَسْمَاءَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّ امْرَأَتِي وَلَدَتْ عَلَى فِرَاشِي غُلَامًا أَسْوَدَ، وَإِنَّا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِينَا أَسْوَدُ قَطُّ، قَالَ: «هَلْ لَكَ مِنْ إِبِلٍ؟» قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: «فَمَا أَلْوَانُهَا؟» قَالَ: حُمْرٌ، قَالَ: «هَلْ فِيهَا أَسْوَدُ؟» قَالَ: لَا، قَالَ: «فِيهَا أَوْرَقُ؟» قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: «فَأَنَّى كَانَ ذَلِكَ؟» قَالَ: عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ نَزَعَهُ عِرْقٌ، قَالَ: «فَلَعَلَّ ابْنَكَ هَذَا نَزَعَهُ عِرْقٌ»
