Hadith 4742

حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ ، عَنْ أَبِي حَصِينٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، قَالَ : وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ عَلَى حَرْفٍ سورة الحج آية 11 ، قَالَ : كَانَ الرَّجُلُ يَقْدَمُ الْمَدِينَةَ ، فَإِنْ وَلَدَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ غُلَامًا وَنُتِجَتْ خَيْلُهُ ، قَالَ : "هَذَا دِينٌ صَالِحٌ ، وَإِنْ لَمْ تَلِدِ امْرَأَتُهُ ، وَلَمْ تُنْتَجْ خَيْلُهُ ، قَالَ : هَذَا دِينُ سُوءٍ " .
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Regarding the Verse: "And among men is he who worships Allah's as it were on the very edge." (22.11). A man used to come to Medina as if his wife brought a son and his mares produces offspring. He would say, "This religion (Islam) is good," but if his wife did not give birth to a child and his mares produced no offspring, he would say, "This religion is bad."
