Musnad Ahmad Hadith 7760

It is narrated from Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said: A man from Banu Fazarah came to the service of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! My wife has given birth to a child of dark complexion." In fact, he wanted to present a request before the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) not to establish the lineage of the child himself. The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) asked him, "Do you have camels?" He said, "Yes." The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "What is their color?" He said, "Red." The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "Is there any camel among them of gray color?" He said, "Yes, there is a gray-colored camel among them." The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "How did the gray camel come among the red camels?" He said, "Perhaps some vein has drawn this color." The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Then understand the same about this child, that perhaps some vein has drawn this color." And the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) did not permit him to deny the lineage of the child.
