The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "What color are they?" He replied, "They are red." The Prophet (ﷺ) further asked, "Are any of them gray in color?" He replied, "Yes." The Prophet asked him, "Whence did that grayness come?" He said, "I thing it descended from the camel's ancestors."

Abu Huraira bataate hain: Ek badawi Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ke paas aaya aur kaha, 'Meri biwi ne ek kaale bacche ko janm diya hai.' Nabi (SAW) ne unse kaha, 'Kya tumhaare paas oont hain?' Unhone jawab diya, 'Haan.' Nabi (SAW) ne pucha, 'Unka rang kaisa hai?' Unhone jawab diya, 'Wo laal hain.' Nabi (SAW) ne aage pucha, 'Kya unmein se koi khaakastari rang ka bhi hai?' Unhone jawab diya, 'Haan.' Nabi (SAW) ne unse pucha, 'Wo khaakastari rang kahaan se aaya?' Unhone kaha, 'Mujhe lagta hai wo oont ke poorvajon se aaya hai.' Phir Nabi (SAW) ne (unse) kaha, 'Isliye, tumhaara ye bacha shaayad apne poorvajon se rang wirasat mein le gaya hai.'
