حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْأَهْوَازِيُّ قَالَ: نَا عَامِرُ بْنُ مُدْرِكٍ قَالَ: نَا عُتْبَةُ بْنُ يَقْظَانَ، عَنْ حَمَّادٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَخْوَالِهِ يَعْنِي عَلْقَمَةَ، وَالْأَسْوَدَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ:
جَاءَ نَفَرٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَقَالُوا: يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنْ كُنْتَ نَبِيًّا كَمَا تَذْكُرُ فَأَخْبِرْنَا مِنْ أَيْنَ الشَّبَهُ يُشْبِهُ الرَّجُلُ مَرَّةً أَعْمَامَهُ، وَمَرَّةً أَخْوَالَهُ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ مَاءَ الرَّجُلِ أَبْيَضُ غَلِيظٌ، وَمَاءُ الْمَرْأَةِ أَصْفَرُ رَقِيقٌ فَأَيُّهُمَا عَلَا غَلَبَ الشَّبَهُ

✧ A group of Jews came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "O Muhammad, if you are a prophet as you claim, tell us from where resemblance comes, such that a man sometimes resembles his paternal uncles and sometimes his maternal uncles." He said: "The man's fluid is white and thick, and the woman's fluid is yellow and thin; whichever of them prevails, the resemblance follows it."
