Sayyiduna Ma’qil bin Yasar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! I intend to marry a woman who is wealthy and beautiful, but she does not have the ability to bear children. Should I marry her? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade him. He came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) a second time and mentioned the same thing, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade him. He came a third time to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned the same thing, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Marry a woman who is loving and has the ability to bear children, for I will boast of your numbers on the Day of Resurrection.
