ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَمَّا يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلْمَرْءِ مِنْ تَقْدِيمِ الْفَرَطِ لِنَفْسِهِ
Whom do you count as" Raqub" amongst you? They (his Companions) said: One who has no children (the children are born unto him but they do not survive). Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: He is not a Raqub but Raqub is one who does not find his child as the forerunner (in Paradise). He then said: Whom do you count as a wrestler amongst you? We said: He who wrestles with persons. He said: No, it is not he but one who controls himself when in a fit of rage. (Using translation from Muslim 2608a)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا تَعُدُّونَ الرَّقُوبَ فِيكُمْ؟ » قَالَ قُلْنَا الَّذِي لَا يُولَدُ لَهُ قَالَ «لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ بِالرَّقُوبِ وَلَكِنِ الَّذِي لَا يُقَدِّمُ مِنْ وَلَدِهِ شَيْئًا» قَالَ «فَمَا تَعُدُّونَ الصُّرَعَةَ فِيكُمْ؟ » قُلْنَا الَّذِي لَا يَصْرَعُهُ الرِّجَالُ قَالَ «لَيْسَ ذَاكَ وَلَكِنِ الَّذِي يَمْلِكُ نَفْسَهُ عِنْدَ الْغَضَبِ»
