How sound are the hadiths that mention a Jew asking the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, about what man is created from?
The mentioned hadith: "Indeed, the man's sperm is white and thick, and from it comes the bones and nerves. And the woman's fluid is yellow and thin, and from it comes the blood and flesh" is weak. Its defect lies with Ata' bin Al-Sa'ib due to his اختلاط (mixing up of narrations). This detail has not been reported in the authentic corroborating narrations that speak of the man's fluid and the woman's fluid, which makes it objectionable (munkar).
