حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، واللفظ لقتيبة ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ ، عَنْ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا تَعُدُّونَ الرَّقُوبَ فِيكُمْ ؟ قَالَ : قُلْنَا : الَّذِي لَا يُولَدُ لَهُ ، قَالَ : لَيْسَ ذَاكَ بِالرَّقُوبِ ، وَلَكِنَّهُ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي لَمْ يُقَدِّمْ مِنْ وَلَدِهِ شَيْئًا ، قَالَ : فَمَا تَعُدُّونَ الصُّرَعَةَ فِيكُمْ ؟ قَالَ : قُلْنَا : الَّذِي لَا يَصْرَعُهُ الرِّجَالُ ، قَالَ : لَيْسَ بِذَلِكَ ، وَلَكِنَّهُ الَّذِي يَمْلِكُ نَفْسَهُ عِنْدَ الْغَضَبِ " .
'Abdullah bin Mas'ud reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Whom do you count as "Raqub" amongst you? They (his Companions) said: One who has no children (the children are born unto him but they do not survive). Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: He is not a Raqub but Raqub is one who does not find his child as the forerunner (in Paradise). He then said: Whom do you count as a wrestler amongst you? We said: He who wrestles with persons. He said: No, it is not he but one who controls himself when in a fit of rage.Abdullah bin Mas'ud reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Whom do you count as "Raqub" amongst you?
