[4286] 23 - (...) It was narrated from Abû Hurairah that the Prophet ﷺ said: “Sulaimân bin Dâwûd, the Prophet of Allâh, said: ‘Tonight I will go around to seventy women, each of whom will give birth to a boy who will fight in the cause of Allâh.’ His companion, or the Angel, said: ‘Say: “If Allâh wills.”’ But he did not say it, or he was caused to forget, and none of his women gave birth to a child except one, who gave birth to a deformed child.” The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: “If he had said: ‘If Allâh wills,’ he would not have broken his oath, and that would have been a means of attaining what he hoped for.”
