حَدَّثَنَا
ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
إِسْمَاعِيلُ ، قُلْتُ
لِابْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى : رَأَيْتَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ابْنَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " مَاتَ صَغِيرًا ، وَلَوْ قُضِيَ أَنْ يَكُونَ بَعْدَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَبِيٌّ عَاشَ ابْنُهُ ، وَلَكِنْ لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدَهُ " .
Narrated Isma`il: I asked Abi `Aufa, "Did you see Ibrahim, the son of the Prophet ?" He said, "Yes, but he died in his early childhood. Had there been a Prophet after Muhammad then his son would have lived, but there is no Prophet after him."
