Syedna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a man from Banu Fazarah came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! My wife has given birth to a black child. (Since he himself was of fair complexion), he was actually indicating denial of the child. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: Do you have camels? He said: Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: What are their colors? He said: Red. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Is there a gray-colored camel among them? He said: Yes, there is. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Where did that come from? He said: Perhaps some vein has pulled it. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Perhaps this child has also been pulled by a vein. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not permit him to deny the child.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … It is understood from this that based on the complexion and appearance of a newborn child, the mother cannot be accused (of adultery); rather, such a child will be considered as belonging to the household in which he is born. In such a case, there will be no room for doubt or suspicion.
