بَابُ مَنْ حَمِدَ اللَّهَ عِنْدَ الْوِلادَةِ إِذَا كَانَ سَوِيًّا وَلَمْ يُبَالِ ذَكَرًا أَوْ أُنْثَیPraising Allah at birth, regardless of gender
Hadith 1256
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ دُكَيْنٍ، سَمِعَ كَثِيرَ بْنَ عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ: كَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا إِذَا وُلِدَ فِيهِمْ مَوْلُودٌ - يَعْنِي: فِي أَهْلِهَا - لَا تَسْأَلُ: غُلاَمًا وَلَا جَارِيَةً، تَقُولُ: خُلِقَ سَوِيًّا؟ فَإِذَا قِيلَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَتِ: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ.
It is narrated from Kathir bin Ubaid, may Allah have mercy on him, that he said: When a child was born in the family of Sayyidah Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, she would not ask whether it was a boy or a girl. She would ask: Is the child healthy and sound? When she was told that yes, the child is healthy, she would say: «الحمد للہ رب العالمین».
