It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that a man from Banu Fazarah came to the Messenger of Allah and said: My wife has given birth to a black boy. The Messenger of Allah said: Do you have camels? He said: Yes. He said: What color are they? He said: Red. He said: Are there any gray ones among them? He said: There are some gray ones among them. He said: Where do you think they come from? He said: Perhaps it is hereditary. He said: Likewise, perhaps this is hereditary.
It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: A man from Banu Fazarah came to the Prophet and said: 'My wife has given birth to a black boy' -and he wanted to disown him. He said: 'Do you have camels?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'What color are they?' He said: 'Red.' He said: 'Are there any gray ones among them?' He said: 'There are some gray camels among them.' He said: 'Why is that do you think?' He said: 'Perhaps it is hereditary.' He said: 'Perhaps this is hereditary.' And he did not permit him to disown him.
It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: While we were with the Prophet, a man stood up and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, a black boy has been born to me.' The Messenger of Allah said: 'How did that happen?' He said: 'I do not know.' He said: 'Do you have camels?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'What color are they?' He said: 'Red.' He said: 'Are there any gray camels among them?' He said: 'There are some gray camels among them.' He said: 'Where do they come from?' He said: 'I do not know, O Allah's Messenger! Perhaps it is hereditary.' He said: 'Perhaps this is also hereditary.' Because of this, the Messenger of Allah decreed the following: 'It is not allowed for a man, to disown a child who was born on his bed, unless he claimed that he had seen an immoral act (Fahishah).'
