[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»
