47 - Chapter: When a man makes an allusion to his wife and has doubt about his child and wishes to disown him

3478 - Ishaq ibn Ibrahim informed us, saying: Sufyan informed us, from al-Zuhri, from Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab, from Abu Hurayrah, that a man from Banu Fazarah came to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said: "My wife has given birth to a black boy." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: "Do you have camels?" He said: "Yes." He said: "What are their colors?" He said: "Red." He said: "Is there any gray among them?" He said: "There is indeed gray among them." He said: "How do you think that came about?" He said: "Perhaps a strain pulled it back." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: "And this one, perhaps a strain pulled it back."

= Also recorded by Ahmad (4604), (5202), and (6098), al-Bukhari (4748), (5306), (5313), and (5314), and Muslim (1494): (9) via multiple chains from Nafi' with it, and the wording of Ahmad's narration (6098) is: that a man invoked the curse of mutual imprecation upon his wife during the time of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and disowned her child, so the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, separated them and attributed the child to the woman. And similar to it is the wording of al-Bukhari's narration (4748).

And similar to it has preceded via the chain of Sa'id ibn Jubayr, from Ibn 'Umar, in the four hadiths before it.

(1) The correction is from (R) and (M), and in (K) and (H) it reads: "and remained silent," and in the printed edition: "and she doubted"; al-Sindi said: "'And remained silent' — it may be from silence, meaning: he did not explicitly state what would necessitate an accusation of unlawful intercourse."

(2) Its chain is authentic. Ishaq ibn Ibrahim: he is Ibn Rahawayh, and Sufyan: he is Ibn 'Uyaynah, and al-Zuhri: he is Muhammad ibn Muslim ibn Shihab. The hadith is in "al-Sunan al-Kubra" under number (5642).

Also recorded by Ibn Hibban (4107) via the chain of Ishaq ibn Ibrahim, with this chain of transmission.

Also recorded by Ahmad (7264), Muslim (1500): (18), Abu Dawud (2260), al-Tirmidhi (2128), Ibn Majah (2002), and Ibn Hibban (4106) via the chain of Sufyan ibn 'Uyaynah, with it.

And Sufyan ibn 'Uyaynah was followed on this chain of transmission:

Malik narrated it, as in the "Musnad" of Ahmad (9298) and the "Sahih" of al-Bukhari (5305) and (6847); and Ibn Abi Dhi'b, as in the "Musnad" of Ahmad (7190) and the "Sahih" of Muslim (1500): (19); and Ma'mar ibn Rashid, as will come in the following narration; and Shu'ayb ibn Abi Hamzah, as will come in the narration: =
