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.  

مسلم:٢٦٠٨aحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَاللَّفْظُ لِقُتَيْبَةَ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا تَعُدُّونَ الرَّقُوبَ فِيكُمْ قَالَ قُلْنَا الَّذِي لاَ يُولَدُ لَهُ قَالَ لَيْسَ ذَاكَ بِالرَّقُوبِ وَلَكِنَّهُ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي لَمْ يُقَدِّمْ مِنْ وَلَدِهِ شَيْئًا قَالَ فَمَا تَعُدُّونَ الصُّرَعَةَ فِيكُمْ قَالَ قُلْنَا الَّذِي لاَ يَصْرَعُهُ الرِّجَالُ قَالَ لَيْسَ بِذَلِكَ وَلَكِنَّهُ الَّذِي يَمْلِكُ نَفْسَهُ عِنْدَ الْغَضَبِ

"مَا تَعُدُّونَ الرَّقُوبَ فِيكم؟ قَالُوا: الّذِى لا وَلَدَ لَه، قَال: لَيسَ ذَاكَ بالرَّقوبِ، وَلَكنه الرجلُ الَّذِي لَمْ يُقَدِّم مِنْ ولدهِ شَيئًا، فَمَا تَعُدّونَ الصّرَعَةَ فيكم؟ قَال: الّذِى لا يَصْرَعُه الرّجالُ، قَال: لَيس بِذَلِك، وَلكنه الذي يَمْلكُ نَفْسَه عِنْدَ الغَضبِ".
