Sahih Muslim : 1654f
Sahih MuslimHadith Number 1654f
وَحَدَّثَنِيهِ سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي، الزِّنَادِ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ مِثْلَهُ . غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ " كُلُّهَا تَحْمِلُ غُلاَمًا يُجَاهِدُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ".
Abu Zinad Narrated from:
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Abu Zinad with the same chain of transmitters with a variation of (these words): " Every one of them giving birth to a child, who would have fought in the cause of Allah."

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1654f
This narration is a shorter report through Abu Zinad with the same chain, but it gives a slight wording change. It says that every wife would carry a boy who would fight in the cause of Allah. The narration does not bring a new story. It supports the same Hadith about saying Insha Allah before plans. The wording keeps the focus on a future hope: children who would serve a righteous purpose. Yet the lesson remains that future outcomes are not in human control alone. A Muslim says Insha Allah because the final result belongs to Allah. For anyone searching for the if Allah wills Hadith, this narration is tied to that same teaching.
What we learn from this hadith
- Small wording changes can still carry the same main lesson.
- Future hopes should be connected to Allah's will.
- The planned goal was righteous, yet it still depended on Allah's decree.
- The narration points readers back to the importance of saying Insha Allah.
