Rejecting Racism in Islam

SUMMARY: A bedouin came to the Prophet and said that his wife had given birth to a black son, but he wanted to disown him.

Narrated AbuHurayrah: A bedouin came to the Prophet , and said: My wife has given birth to a black son, and I disown him. He then narrated the rest of the tradition to the same effect.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا، أَتَى النَّبِيَّ فَقَالَ إِنَّ امْرَأَتِي وَلَدَتْ غُلاَمًا أَسْوَدَ وَإِنِّي أُنْكِرُهُ ‏.‏ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about rejecting racism in Islam. The bedouin came to the Prophet and said that his wife had given birth to a black son but he wanted to disown him. The Prophet was very displeased with this and told him not to do it as it was wrong. He then went on to explain why it was wrong by saying that all children are equal regardless of their skin color or race. He also reminded the man of God's mercy which is extended equally upon all people regardless of their differences. This teaches us an important lesson about rejecting racism and embracing diversity in our society today. We should remember that we are all equal before God and should treat each other with respect no matter what our differences may be.
