2819. Narrated Abū Hurairah رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Once Sulaimān (Solomon), son of Dawūd (David) said, '(By Allāh!) Tonight I will have sexual intercourse with one hundred or ninety-nine women, each of whom will give birth to a knight who will fight in Allāh's Cause.' On that his companion said: say: "In sha Allāh (If Allāh wills)", but he did not say, "In sha Allāh (If Allāh wills)." So none except one of those women conceived and gave birth to a half-man. By Him in Whose Hands Muḥammad's soul is, if he had said, "In sha Allāh (If Allāh wills)", (he would have begotten sons) all of whom would have been knights striving in Allāh's Cause." (See H. 6639)

2819 - وَقَالَ اللَّيْثُ: حَدَّثَنِي جَعْفَرُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَمُ: لَأَطُوفَنَّ اللَّيْلَةَ عَلَى مِائَةِ امْرَأَةٍ، أَوْ تِسْعٍ وَتِسْعِينَ كُلُّهُنَّ، يَأْتِي بِفَارِسٍ يُجَاهِدُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ صَاحِبُهُ: إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ، فَلَمْ يَقُلْ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ، فَلَمْ يَحْمِلْ مِنْهُنَّ إِلَّا امْرَأَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ، جَاءَتْ بِشِقِّ رَجُلٍ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ، لَوْ قَالَ: إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ، لَجَاهَدُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، فُرْسَانًا أَجْمَعُونَ "
