[Machine] I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the delegation of Kindah, and he asked me, "Do you have any children?" I said, "Yes, I have a son who was born to me on the way to you, from the daughter of Jammad." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do not say that, for in them is a delight for the eyes and a reward when they are taken away. And if you were to say that, they would be sad and unfortunate. They would be sad and unfortunate."  

قَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي وَفْدِ كِنْدَةَ فَقَالَ لِي هَلْ لَكَ مِنْ وَلَدٍ؟ قُلْتُ غُلَامٌ وُلِدَ لِي فِي مَخْرَجِي إِلَيْكَ مِنَ ابْنَةِ جَمْدٍ وَلَوَدِدْتُ أَنَّ مَكَانَهُ شَبِعَ الْقَوْمُ قَالَ لَا تَقُولَنَّ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ فِيهِمْ قُرَّةَ عَيْنٍ وَأَجْرًا إِذَا قُبِضُوا ثُمَّ لَئِنْ قُلْتَ ذَاكَ إِنَّهُمْ لَمَجْبَنَةٌ مَحْزَنَةٌ إِنَّهُمْ لَمَجْبَنَةٌ مَحْزَنَةٌ  

[Machine] "He came to the Prophet ﷺ as part of the delegation of Kindah, and the Prophet ﷺ asked him, 'Do you have any children?' He replied, 'I only have one child who was born to me to serve you, and if I could, I would have loved to have him take your place.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Do not say that, for they are the delight of the eyes and a reward when they pass away. And if you were to say that, then they would become stingy, sad, and upset.'"  

أَنَّهُ قَدِمَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي وَفْدِ كِنْدَةَ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «هَلْ لَكَ مِنْ وَلَدٍ؟» قَالَ لَا إِلَّا مَوْلُودٌ وُلِدَ لِي مَخْرَجِي إِلَيْكَ وَلَوَدِدْتُ أَنَّ لِي مَكَانَهُ شَبِعَ الْقَوْمُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «لَا تَقُلْ ذَاكَ فَإِنَّ فِيهِمْ قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ وَأَجْرًا إِذَا قُبِضُوا وَلَئِنْ قُلْتَ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمَجْبَنَةٌ وَمَحْزَنَةٌ وَمَبْخَلَةٌ»  

"عَنْ أَشْعَثَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ قَالَ: قَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لِى: مَا فَعَلَتْ بنْتُ عَمِّكَ؟ قُلْتُ: نَفِسَتْ بِغُلاَمٍ، وَاللهِ لَوَدِدْتُ أَنَّ لِى بِهِ شعبة (*)، فَقَالَ: أَمَا لَئِنْ قُلتَ، إنَّهُمْ لَمَجْبَنَةٌ مَبْخَلَةٌ، وَإِنَّهُمْ لَقُرَّةُ الْعَيْنِ وَثَمَرَةُ الفُؤَادِ ".
