[4289] 25 - (...) It was narrated from Abū Hurairah that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Sulaimān bin Dāwūd said: 'Tonight I will go around to ninety women, and each of them will give birth to a knight who will fight in the cause of Allāh.' His companion said to him: 'Say "If Allāh wills." But he did not say 'If Allāh wills,' and he went round to all of them. None of them became pregnant except one woman, who gave birth to a deformed child. By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad, if he had said 'If Allāh wills,' they would all have been knights, striving in the cause of Allāh."

25 - (1654) وحَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَبَابَةُ، حَدَّثَنِي وَرْقَاءُ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: " قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ: لَأَطُوفَنَّ اللَّيْلَةَ عَلَى تِسْعِينَ امْرَأَةً كُلُّهَا تَأْتِي بِفَارِسٍ يُقَاتِلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ صَاحِبُهُ: قُلْ: إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ، فَلَمْ يَقُلْ: إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ، فَطَافَ عَلَيْهِنَّ جَمِيعًا، فَلَمْ تَحْمِلْ مِنْهُنَّ إِلَّا امْرَأَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ، فَجَاءَتْ بِشِقِّ رَجُلٍ، وَايْمُ الَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَوْ قَالَ: إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ لَجَاهَدُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فُرْسَانًا أَجْمَعُونَ "،
