Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man from the tribe of Banu Fazarah came to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and said: My wife has given birth to a black child. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) asked: Do you have camels? He replied: Yes. The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked: What is their color? He replied: Red. The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked: Is there any gray among them? He replied: There is one gray among them. The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked: Where did that come from? He replied: Some vein must have pulled it. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Then perhaps some vein has pulled this one too.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man from the tribe of Banu Fazarah came to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and said: My wife has given birth to a black child. The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked: Do you have camels? He replied: Yes. The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked: What is their color? He replied: Red. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Are there any gray ones among them? He replied: There are gray ones among them. The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked: What do you think, where did that come from? He replied: Perhaps some vein has pulled it. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: So here (i.e., regarding your child) also, perhaps some vein has pulled it. (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says) When the narrator named Abdullah narrated this hadith to us a second time, he reported these words: "My slave woman has given birth to a child." (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The statement of the Prophet (peace be upon him), "Do you have camels?" and then his question, "What is their color?"—literally, these words seem to be seeking information about something, but what is meant is: A person should protect himself from the whisperings of Satan regarding his children, or in such a situation, protect himself from the whisperings of Satan when the appearance of the child is different from the father, because it is possible that acting upon such whisperings may lead him to sin.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: He heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) saying this at the time when the verse regarding the woman who performs li'an was revealed (the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said): "Any woman who introduces into a people someone who is not of them (i.e., gives birth to an illegitimate child), she will have no connection with Allah, and Allah will not admit her into His Paradise. And whoever denies his child, knowing that it is his offspring, Allah will keep that person veiled (from mercy) and will disgrace him in the presence of all the former and later people."

Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: My foster uncle came and asked permission to enter upon me. I refused to give him permission until I had asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about this matter. Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came, and I asked him about this matter. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: He is your uncle; you should have given him permission. Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! A woman suckled me, not a man. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: The prohibition (of marriage) through suckling is the same as the prohibition through birth.

Sayyida Zaynab bint Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates regarding Sayyida Umm Habibah (may Allah be pleased with her): She said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Are you interested in Durrah bint Abu Sufyan?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "What would I do with her?" Sayyida Umm Habibah (may Allah be pleased with her) said, "You may marry her." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "Is she lawful for me?" Sayyida Umm Habibah (may Allah be pleased with her) said, "By Allah! I have heard that you wish to send a marriage proposal to Zaynab bint Umm Salamah." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Zaynab is unlawful for me; she is under my guardianship (that is, she is my stepdaughter), and both I and she were breastfed by Thuwaibah. Do not present your daughters, your sisters, your paternal aunts, your maternal aunts, and your mothers to me for marriage proposals."

Sayyida Zaynab bint Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: Sayyida Umm Habibah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Marry the daughter of Abu Sufyan. She said this regarding her sister, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do you like this? She replied: Yes, I wish that my sister also shares with me in this goodness. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is not permissible. Sayyida Umm Habibah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! By Allah! We have been told that you want to marry Durrah, the daughter of Abu Salamah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: With the daughter of Abu Salamah? Sayyida Umm Habibah (may Allah be pleased with her) replied: Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If she were not my stepdaughter, even then she would not be lawful for me, because she is the daughter of my foster brother. Thuwaibah nursed both me and Abu Salamah. Do not present the proposals of your daughters and sisters before me.

Sayyiduna Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I met my maternal uncle, Sayyiduna Abu Burdah (may Allah be pleased with him), and he had a flag with him. I asked: Where are you going? He replied: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) has sent me to a man who has married his father’s wife, (and he has ordered) that I kill him (the narrator is in doubt, perhaps these are the words:) that I strike his neck.
