A bedouin came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, My wife has delivered a black child. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, Have you camels? He replied, Yes. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, What color are they? He replied, They are red. The Prophet (ﷺ) further asked, Are any of them gray in color? He replied, Yes. The Prophet asked him, Whence did that grayness come? He said, I thing it descended from the camel's ancestors. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said (to him), Therefore, this child of yours has most probably inherited the color from his ancestors.

':'Telah menceritakan kepada kami Isma'il telah mengabarkan kepadaku Malik dari Ibnu Syihab dari Sa'id bin Musayyab dari Abu Hurairah radliallahu 'anhu bahwasanya Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam pernah kedatangan seorang arab badui dan berujar; 'Wahai Rasulullah istriku melahirkan bayi hitam.' Nabi bertanya; 'Apakah kamu punya unta?' 'ya' jawabnya. Nabi bertanya lagi: 'Apa warnanya?' 'Merah' Jawabnya. Nabi bertanya lagi: 'apakah disana ada warna kecoklat-coklatan?' 'ya' jawabnya. Nabi bertanya lagi; 'darimana warna itu ada?' 'pendapat saya warna itu diturunkan karena akar keturunan.' Nabi bersabda: 'warna anakmu bisa jadi juga karena akar keturunan.''
