حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُصْعَبٍ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ امْرَأَتِي وَلَدَتْ غُلَامًا أَسْوَدَ فَقَالَ هَلْ لَكَ مِنْ إِبِلٍ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَمَا أَلْوَانُهَا قَالَ رُمْكٌ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرُبَّمَا لَيْسَ جَاءَتْ بِالْبَعِيرِ الْأَوْرَقِ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَأَنَّى تَرَى ذَلِكَ قَالَ أُرَاهُ نَزَعَهُ عِرْقٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهَذَا نَزَعَهُ عِرْقٌ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Mus'ab narrated to us, Malik ibn Anas narrated to us, from al-Zuhri, from Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab, from Abu Hurayrah that a man came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, my wife has given birth to a black boy." He said: "Do you have camels?" He said: "Yes." He said: "What are their colors?" He said: "Reddish-brown." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Is it not that sometimes a grey camel is born among them?" He said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "What do you think caused that?" He said: "I think a gene pulled it." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "And perhaps a gene has pulled this one too."
