حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْوَرَكَانِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ فِي خَبَرِ الْمُتَلَاعِنَيْنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ أَبْصِرُوهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنْ جَاءَتْ بِهِ أَدْعَجَ الْعَيْنَيْنِ عَظِيمَ الْأَلْيَتَيْنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَا أُرَاهُ إِلَّا قَدْ صَدَقَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِنْ جَاءَتْ بِهِ أُحَيْمِرَ كَأَنَّهُ وَحَرَةٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَا أُرَاهُ إِلَّا كَاذِبًا ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَجَاءَتْ بِهِ عَلَى النَّعْتِ الْمَكْرُوهِ.

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم 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 صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) in a detestable manner.
