وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ وَاللَّفْظُ لِابْنِ أَبِي عُمَرَ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ حُجَيْرٍ ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ : لَأَطُوفَنَّ اللَّيْلَةَ عَلَى سَبْعِينَ امْرَأَةً كُلُّهُنَّ تَأْتِي بِغُلَامٍ يُقَاتِلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ : صَاحِبُهُ أَوِ الْمَلَكُ قُلْ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ، فَلَمْ يَقُلْ وَنَسِيَ ، فَلَمْ تَأْتِ وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْ نِسَائِهِ إِلَّا وَاحِدَةٌ جَاءَتْ بِشِقِّ غُلَامٍ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : وَلَوَ قَالَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَمْ يَحْنَثْ وَكَانَ دَرَكًا لَهُ فِي حَاجَتِهِ " ،
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Prophet (ﷺ) as saying that Sulaiman bin Dawud, the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) , observed: I will have an intercourse with seventy wives during the night; all of them will give birth to a male child who will fight in the cause of Allah. His companion or the angles said to him: Say, "If God wills." But he (Hadrat Sulaimin) did not say so, and he forgot it. And none of his wives gave birth to a child, but one who gave birth to a premature child. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Had he said Insha' Allah (if God so will) he would not have failed and his desire would have been materialised.
