Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that a companion came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! A dark-skinned child has been born to me." Upon this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "Do you have any camels?" He replied, "Yes." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "What are their colors?" He said, "They are red." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "Is there any among them that is blackish-white?" He replied, "Yes." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) then asked, "How did that come about?" He said, "Perhaps it inherited this from some ancestor among its forefathers." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "In the same way, this child of yours has inherited from some distant relative among his ancestors."
