Sayyiduna al-Ash'ath bin Qays (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): A child has been born to me from the daughter of Jamd bin Wali'ah al-Kindi, and I wish that in his place we had a bowl of tharid. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, children are a cause of miserliness, cowardice and grief."
