عَنِ الْأَشْعَثِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي وَفْدِ كِنْدَةَ فَقَالَ لِي هَلْ لَكَ مِنْ وَلَدٍ قُلْتُ غُلَامٌ وُلِدَ لِي فِي مَخْرَجِي إِلَيْكَ مِنِ ابْنَةِ جَمْدٍ وَلَوَدِدْتُ أَنْ مَكَانَهُ شَبِعَ الْقَوْمُ قَالَ لَا تَقُولَنَّ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ فِيهِمْ قُرَّةَ عَيْنٍ وَأَجْرًا إِذَا قُبِضُوا ثُمَّ وَلَئِنْ قُلْتَ ذَاكَ إِنَّهُمْ لَمَجْبَنَةٌ مَحْزَنَةٌ إِنَّهُمْ لَمَجْبَنَةٌ مَحْزَنَةٌ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ash'ath bin Qais (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) as part of the delegation of Kindah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: Do you have children? I said: Just as I was leaving to come to you, a child was born to me from the womb of Bint Jamd, and I wish that instead of this child, people would eat their fill of food. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Never say such a thing, because some children become the coolness of the eyes, and when they pass away, there is reward (for the parents). Yet, if you say such a thing, these children become a cause of cowardice and grief; indeed, they become a cause of cowardice and grief.
