Sahih Muslim Hadith 4286 – Saying: “If Allah

English

[4286] 23 – ( … ) It was narrated from Abü Hurairah that the Prophet said: "Sulaimân bin Dâwüd, the Prophet of Allah, said: 'Tonight I will go around to seventy women, each of whom will give birth to a boy who will fight in the cause of Allah.' His companion, or the Angel, said: 'Say: "If Allah wills." But he did not say it, or he was caused to forget, and none of his women gave birth to a child except one, who gave birth to a deformed child." The Messenger of Allah said: "If he had said: 'If Allah wills,' he would not have broken his oath, and that would have been a means of attaining what he hoped for."
