Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ud
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5162 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked: Whom do you
وَعَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : مَا تَعُدُّونَ الرَّقُوبَ فِيكُمْ ؟ قَالَ : قُلْنَا : الَّذِي لَا وَلَدَ لَهُ ، قَالَ : لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ بِالرَّقُوبِ ، وَلَكِنَّ الرَّقُوبَ الَّذِي لَمْ يُقَدِّمْ مِنْ وَلَدِهِ شَيْئًا ، قَالَ : وَمَا تَعُدُّونَ الصُّرَعَةَ فِيكُمْ ؟ قَالَ : قُلْنَا : الَّذِي لَا تَصْرَعُهُ الرِّجَالُ ، قَالَ : لَيْسَ ذَلِكُمْ ، وَلَكِنَّ الَّذِي يَمْلِكُ نَفْسَهُ عِنْدَ الْغَضَبِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Whom do you count among you as 'raqub' (bereft)?" We said: "The one who has no children." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That is not the raqub; rather the raqub is the one who has not sent ahead any of his children (in his lifetime)." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "And whom do you count among you as 'sura'ah' (a strong wrestler)?" We said: "The one whom men cannot throw down." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That is not (the strong one); rather (the real strong one) is the one who controls himself at the time of anger."
