7469. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: Allāh’s Prophet Sulaimān (Solomon) عليه السلام who had sixty wives, once said, “Tonight I will have sexual relation (sleep) with all my wives so that each of them will become pregnant and bring forth (a boy who will grow into) a cavalier and will fight in Allāh's Cause." So he slept with his wives and none of them (conceived and) delivered (a child) except one who brought a half boy (deformed). Allāh's Prophet ﷺ said, "If Sulaimān (had said; 'If Allāh Will,' then each of those women would have given birth to a (would-be) cavalier to fight in Allāh's Cause." (See Hadīth No.2819, Vol.4).

7469 - حَدَّثَنَا مُعَلَّى بْنُ أَسَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ كَانَ لَهُ سِتُّونَ امْرَأَةً، فَقَالَ: لَأَطُوفَنَّ اللَّيْلَةَ عَلَى نِسَائِي فَلْتَحْمِلْنَ كُلُّ امْرَأَةٍ، وَلْتَلِدْنَ فَارِسًا يُقَاتِلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، فَطَافَ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ، فَمَا وَلَدَتْ مِنْهُنَّ إِلَّا امْرَأَةٌ وَلَدَتْ شِقَّ غُلاَمٍ "، قَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَوْ كَانَ سُلَيْمَانُ اسْتَثْنَى لَحَمَلَتْ كُلُّ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ، فَوَلَدَتْ فَارِسًا يُقَاتِلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ»
