2248 — Muhammad ibn Jaʿfar al-Warkānī narrated to us, Ibrāhīm — meaning Ibn Saʿd — informed us, from al-Zuhrī, from Sahl ibn Saʿd, regarding the account of the two mutual cursers, who said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: "Look at her — if she gives birth to a child with intensely black eyes and large buttocks, then I do not think he (the husband) has spoken the truth, and if she gives birth to a reddish-white child like a lizard (waḥarah), then I do not think he is lying." He said: "And she gave birth to a child matching the disliked description." (2)

2249 — Maḥmūd ibn Khālid narrated to us, al-Firyābī narrated to us, from al-Awzāʿī, from al-Zuhrī
