حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْوَرَكَانِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعْدٍ - عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، فِي خَبَرِ الْمُتَلاَعِنَيْنِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ أَبْصِرُوهَا فَإِنْ جَاءَتْ بِهِ أَدْعَجَ الْعَيْنَيْنِ عَظِيمَ الأَلْيَتَيْنِ فَلاَ أُرَاهُ إِلاَّ قَدْ صَدَقَ وَإِنْ جَاءَتْ بِهِ أُحَيْمِرَ كَأَنَّهُ وَحَرَةٌ فَلاَ أُرَاهُ إِلاَّ كَاذِبًا ‏"‏ . قَالَ فَجَاءَتْ بِهِ عَلَى النَّعْتِ الْمَكْرُوهِ .

Narrator: Sahl bin Sa’ad

English translation
Sahl bin Sa’ad reported the Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) as saying - in the tradition of spouses who invoked curses to each other “Look if she bears a child which has very black eyes, large buttocks, I cannot but imagine that he (i.e., ‘Uwaimir) has spoken the truth. But, if she bears a reddish child like the lizard with red spots (waharah), I cannot imagine that ‘Uwaimir has lied against her. She gave birth to a child (like that described the Prophet (ﷺ) ) in a detestable manner
বাংলা অনুবাদ
। সাহল ইবনু সা‘দ (রাযি.) উভয় লি‘আনকারীর ঘটনা প্রসঙ্গে বলেন, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বললেনঃ তোমরা ঐ মহিলার প্রতি দৃষ্টি রাখো। যদি সে খুব কালো চক্ষু ও বড় নিতম্ববিশিষ্ট সন্তান প্রসব করে, তবে আমি বুঝে নিবো, সে (স্বামী) সত্যই বলেছে। আর যদি সে সান্ডার মতো রক্তিমাভ সন্তান প্রসব করে তাহলে ধারণা করবো যে, সে মিথ্যাবাদী ছিলো। বর্ণনাকারী বলেন, সে অপছন্দনীয় বৈশিষ্টযুক্ত সন্তান প্রসব করলো। সহীহ।
