وَحَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ، قَالَ: نَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، قَالَ: نَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ سَلَّامٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا سَلَّامٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو أَسْمَاءَ الرَّحَبِيُّ أَنَّ ثَوْبَانَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَدَّثَهُ، قَالَ:
كُنْتُ قَائِمًا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَاءَ حَبْرٌ مِنْ أَحْبَارِ الْيَهُودِ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ لَا يَعْلَمُهُ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا نَبِيٌّ، فَقَالَ: يَنْفَعُكَ إِنْ حَدَّثْتُكَ، قَالَ: أَسْمَعُ بِأُذُنَيَّ. قَالَ: جِئْتُ أَسْأَلُكَ عَنِ الْوَلَدِ، قَالَ: أَمَّا مَاءُ الرَّجُلِ وَمَاءُ الْمَرْأَةِ فَإِذَا اجْتَمَعَا عَلَا مَنِيُّ الرَّجُلِ مَنِيَّ الْمَرْأَةِ أَذْكَرَا بِإِذْنِ اللهِ، وَإِذَا عَلَا مَنِيُّ الْمَرْأَةِ مَنِيَّ الرَّجُلِ فَآنَثَا بِإِذْنِ اللهِ " فَقَالَ الْيَهُودِيُّ: صَدَقْتَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " لَقَدْ سَأَلَنِي هَذَا عَنْهُ وَمَا لِي عِلْمٌ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْهُ حَتَّى

He ﷺ said: "It will benefit you if I tell you?" He said: "I will listen with my two ears." He said: "I have come to ask you about the child." He ﷺ said: "As for the fluid of the man and the fluid of the woman, when they meet, if the man's semen prevails over the woman's semen, the child is male by Allah's permission; and if the woman's semen prevails over the man's semen, the child is female by Allah's permission." The Jew said: "You have spoken the truth." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "He asked me about this while I had no knowledge of any of it until..."
