قَالَ: وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”مَا تَعُدُّونَ فِيكُمُ الرَّقُوبَ؟“ قَالُوا: الرَّقُوبُ الَّذِي لاَ يُولَدُ لَهُ، قَالَ: ”لَا، وَلَكِنَّ الرَّقُوبَ الَّذِي لَمْ يُقَدِّمْ مِنْ وَلَدِهِ شَيْئًا.“
Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whom do you call 'Raqoob'?" They replied: The one who has no children is 'Raqoob'. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "In reality, 'La Walad' is the one who has not sent any of his children ahead."
