حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ ﵉: لأَطُوفَنَّ اللَّيْلَةَ بِمِائَةِ امْرَأَةٍ، تَلِدُ كُلُّ امْرَأَةٍ غُلَامًا يُقَاتِلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلَكُ: قُلْ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ فَلَمْ يَقُلْ، وَنَسِيَ؛ فَأَطَافَ بِهِنَّ، وَلَمْ تَلِدْ مِنْهُنَّ إِلَاّ امْرَأَةٌ نِصْفَ إِنْسَانٍ قَالَ النَبِيُّ ﷺ: لَوْ قَالَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ لَمْ يَحْنَثْ، وَكَانَ أَرْجَى لِحَاجَتِهِ.
Abu Hurairah Narrated from:
(The Prophet) Sulaimân (Solomon) عليه السلام son of (the Prophet) Dawûd (David) عليه السلام said, "Tonight I will go round (i.e. have sexual relations with) one hundred women (my wives), everyone of whom will deliver a male child who will fight in Allâh's Cause." On that an angel said to him, "Say: 'If Allâh will.' " But Sulaimân did not say it and forgot to say it. Then he had sexual relations with them but none of them delivered any child except one who delivered a half person (a malformed baby).The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "If Sulaimân had said: 'If Allâh will,' Allâh would have fulfilled his (above) desire and that saying would have made him more hopeful."( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 169, Vol. 7)
