Volume 9, Book 92, Number 417:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
A bedouin came to Allah’s Apostle and said, “My wife has delivered a black boy, and I suspect that
he is not my child.” Allah’s Apostle said to him, “Have you got camels?” The bedouin said, “Yes.” The
Prophet said, “What color are they?” The bedouin said, “They are red.” The Prophet said, “Are any of
them Grey?” He said, “There are Grey ones among them.” The Prophet said, “Whence do you think
this color came to them?” The bedouin said, “O Allah’s Apostle! It resulted from hereditary disposi –
tion.” The Prophet said, “And this (i.e., your child) has inherited his color from his ancestors.” The
Prophet did not allow him to deny his paternity of the child.
