We have not found anything, neither in religious texts nor in reality, to indicate that the firstborn male child resembles his paternal grandfather. Rather, religious texts indicate that a child resembles the one whose fluid preceded into the womb, and reality proves that many children do not resemble their fathers, such as Al- ibn Ali, who resembled the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, more than he resembled his father.
