الطبراني:١٠٦٨٥ – حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ بْنِ نَجْدَةَ الْحَوْطِيُّ ثنا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ السِّمْطِ ثنا صَالِحُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْهَاشِمِيُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَأَنْ يُرَبِّي أَحَدُكُمْ بَعْدَ أَرْبَعٍ وَخَمْسِينَ وَمِائَةٍ جَرْوَ كَلْبٍ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يُرَبِّيَ وَلَدًا لِصُلْبِهِ»
