Hadith 2260
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي خَلَفٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ بَنِي فَزَارَةَ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ امْرَأَتِي جَاءَتْ بِوَلَدٍ أَسْوَدَ ، فَقَالَ : " هَلْ لَكَ مِنْ إِبِلٍ ؟ " ، قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : " مَا أَلْوَانُهَا ؟ " قَالَ : حُمْرٌ ، قَالَ : " فَهَلْ فِيهَا مِنْ أَوْرَقَ ؟ " قَالَ : إِنَّ فِيهَا لَوُرْقًا ، قَالَ : " فَأَنَّى تُرَاهُ ؟ " قَالَ : عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ نَزَعَهُ عِرْقٌ ، قَالَ : " وَهَذَا عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ نَزَعَهُ عِرْقٌ " .
Abu Hurairah said A man from Banu Fazarah came to the Prophet ﷺ and said “My wife has given birth to a black son”. He said “Have you any camels?” He said “They are red”. He asked “Is there a dusky one among them?” He replied “Some of them are dusky”. He asked “How do you think they have come about?” He replied “This may be a strain to which they reverted”. He said “And this is perhaps a strain to which the child has reverted. ”
Hadith 2261
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ وَمَعْنَاهُ ، وَهُوَ حِينَئِذٍ يُعَرِّضُ بِأَنْ يَنْفِيَهُ .
The tradition mentioned above has also been narrated by Al Zuhri through a different chain of narrators to the same effect. This version adds “At that time he was hinting at disowning the child. ”

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ،أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ امْرَأَتِي وَلَدَتْ غُلَامًا أَسْوَدَ وَإِنِّي أُنْكِرُهُ . فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ .
