Thawban reported: I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, when a rabbi among the Jews came and he said, “Peace be upon you, O Muhammad.” I pushed him until he almost fell back. The Jew said, “Why do you push me?” I said, “Why do you not say, O Messenger of Allah?” The Jew said, “We only call him by the name given to him by his family.” The Prophet said, “I have been named Muhammad by my family.” The Jew said, “I have come to ask you questions.” The Prophet said, “Will it benefit you if I tell you?” He said, “I will lend my ear to it.” The Prophet drew a line with a stick and he said, “You may ask.” The Jew said, “Where will people be when the earth is changed into another earth along with the heavens?” (14:48) The Prophet said, “They will be in darkness beside the bridge.” He said, “Who among the people will be the first to cross the bridge?” The Prophet said, “The poor among the refugees.” He said, “What will be the first meal of the people of Paradise?” The Prophet said, “The caul of a fish liver.” He said, “What is their food after this?” The Prophet said, “An ox that ate from the edges of Paradise will be slaughtered for them.” He said, “What will be their drink?” The Prophet said, “They will drink from a fountain named Salsabil.” (76:18) He said, “You have spoken the truth. I have come to ask you about something which no one on earth knows except a prophet or a few men.” The Prophet said, “Will it benefit you if I tell you?” He said, “I will lend my ear to it. I have come to ask about the child.” The Prophet said, “The fluid of a man is white and the fluid of a woman is yellow. If they have intercourse and the man’s fluid prevails over the woman’s fluid, the child will be male by the permission of Allah. If they have intercourse and the woman’s fluid prevails over the man’s fluid, the child will be female by the permission of Allah.” The Jew said, “You have spoken the truth. Indeed, you are a prophet.” The Prophet said, “He asked me about some things I did not know until Allah had just told me.” Source: Sahih Muslim 315 Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Muslim Jumaatul Mubarak
