        [Then] he [the Jew] said, "I also came to ask you about something no one on earth would know but a Prophet or one or two [other] men." [So] he [the Prophet] said, "Would it benefit you if I answered?" [So] he [the Jew] said, "I shall hear [it] with my [own] ears. I came to ask you about [one's] offspring." [So] he [the Prophet] said, "The fluid of men is white; that of women is yellow. If they combine and the fluid of the man rises above [or overpowers] the woman's, they beget a male if Allah wills it, and if the fluid of the woman rises above [or overpowers] the man's, they beget a female if Allah wills it." [So] the Jew said, "You have spoken truthfully, and you are indeed a prophet." Then he went away and left.
