3862. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Sulaimān bin Dāwūd said: 'Tonight I will go around ninety women, each of whom will bear a horseman who will perform Jihād in the cause of Allāh.' His companion said to him: 'If Allāh wills.' But he did not say: 'If Allāh wills.' Then he went around to them all, but none of them got pregnant except a woman who bore half a man. By the One in Whose Hand is my soul! If he had said, 'If Allāh wills,' they would all have performed Jihād in cause of Allāh as horsemen.'" (Sahīh)

Commentary
The purpose of the chapter is that a companion's uttering 'If Allāh Wills it so' would not avail the swearer of the oath the benefit of exemption. And this matter is evident from this Hadīth.
