[Machine] In Mecca, there were two seats, and they had a son who would carry them in the morning and bring them to the mosque, then he would leave to earn for them. When evening came, he would carry them and then flip them over. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ lost them and asked about them. They said he had died. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If one person is left for another, then the son of the two seats would have been left." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say that very often, as mentioned in the hadith of Dawud.
كَانَ بِمَكَّةَ مُقْعَدَانِ وَكَانَ لَهُمَا ابْنٌ يَحْمِلُهُمَا غُدْوَةً وَيَأْتِي بِهِمَا الْمَسْجِدَ فَيَضَعُهُمَا فِيهِ ثُمَّ يَذْهَبُ فَيَكْسِبُ عَلَيْهِمَا فَإِذَا أَمْسَى احْتَمَلَهُمَا فَأَقْلَبَهُمَا فَفَقَدَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُ فَقَالُوا مَاتَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَوْ تُرِكَ أَحَدٌ لِأَحَدٍ لَتُرِكَ ابْنُ الْمُقْعَدَيْنِ ثُمَّ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كَثِيرًا يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ دَاوُدَ
