English translation

3887. It was narrated from Abū Hurairah, who attributed it to the Prophet ﷺ: "Sulaimān said: 'I will certainly go around to ninety women tonight, each of whom will bear a child who will fight in the cause of Allāh.' It was said to him: 'Say: If Allāh wills,'" but he did not say it. He went around to them but none of them bore a child except for one woman who bore half a person." The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "If he had said, 'If Allāh wills,' he would not have broken his vow, and this would have been a means to help him to get what he wanted." (Sahih)

Arabic text

3856 - أَخْبَرَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَظِيمِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ ابْنِ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، رَفَعَهُ: " قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ: لَأَطُوفَنَّ اللَّيْلَةَ عَلَى تِسْعِينَ امْرَأَةً تَلِدُ كُلُّ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ غُلَامًا يُقَاتِلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: قُلْ: إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ، فَلَمْ يَقُلْ، فَطَافَ بِهِنَّ، فَلَمْ تَلِدْ مِنْهُنَّ إِلَّا امْرَأَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ نِصْفَ إِنْسَانٍ " فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَوْ قَالَ: إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَمْ يَحْنَثْ وَكَانَ دَرَكًا لِحَاجَتِهِ "
