[Machine] "I was blessed with a son, and I was with the Prophet ﷺ. I said, 'I wish to give you his place as a loaf of bread and meat.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'If you say that, surely they will be stingy and disappointed, but they are the fruits of hearts and the delight of the eyes.'"  

الحاكم:٧٥٩٦حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ ثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ خَيْثَمَةَ عَنِ الْأَشْعَثِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ قَالَ

وُلِدَ لِي غُلَامٌ فَبُشِّرْتُ بِهِ وَأَنَا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ وَدِدْتُ لَكُمْ مَكَانَهُ قَصْعَةً مِنْ خُبْزٍ وَلَحْمٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنْ قُلْتَ ذَاكَ إِنَّهُمْ لَمَبْخَلَةٌ مَجْبَنَةٌ مَحْزَنَةٌ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَثَمَرَةُ الْقُلُوبِ وَقُرَّةُ الْعَيْنِ»  

هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ على شرط البخاري ومسلم
