Musnad Ahmad 9298

Translation

✧ A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, my wife has given birth to a black boy." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Do you have any camels?" He replied, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "What are their colors?" He answered, "They are reddish-brown." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "Is it not possible that one of the camels may give birth to a grayish camel?" He replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ further asked, "So, how do you see it?" He replied, "I think it is due to the lineage." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Likewise, this black color is due to the lineage."
