Hadith 1607
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ النَّوْفَلِيُّ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ رُومَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَسِقْطٌ أُقَدِّمُهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ فَارِسٍ أُخَلِّفُهُ خَلْفِي " .
´It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` ‘A miscarried fetus sent before me is dearer to me than a horseman whom I leave behind.”

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
By "sending ahead" is meant the death of a child.
A child born prematurely does not survive or is born deceased.
There is also reward for patience over this,
as is mentioned in other authentic ahadith.
By "leaving behind a rider" is meant that when a person dies, his grown son remains, who is able to participate in jihad mounted on a horse.
This narration is weak.
However, the reward for the death of a soundly formed (sahih al-khalqah) child is established from authentic ahadith.
It is not unlikely that, upon patience and seeking reward, Allah Ta'ala may grant the reward of a soundly formed child as well.
And that is not difficult for Allah.
