4742. Narrated Ibn ‘Abbās رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا regarding the Verse — “And among mankind is he who worships Allāh as it were, on the very edge (i.e., in doubt)...” (V.22:11): A man used to come to Al-Madīna and if his wife brought a son and his maids produced offspring, he would say, “This religion (Islām) is good,” but if his wife did not give birth to a child and his maids produced no offspring, he would say, “This religion is bad.”
