Volume 8 Book 79 Hadith 711

Volume 8, Book 79, Number 711:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
(The Prophet) Solomon said, “Tonight I will sleep with (my) ninety wives, each of whom will get a
male child who will fight for Allah’s Cause.” On that, his companion (Sufyan said that his companion
was an angel) said to him, “Say, “If Allah will (Allah willing).” But Solomon forgot (to say it). He slept
with all his wives, but none of the women gave birth to a child, except one who gave birth to a half –
boy. Abu Huraira added: The Prophet said, “If Solomon had said, “If Allah will” (Allah willing), he
would not have been unsuccessful in his action, and would have attained what he had desired.” Once
Abu Huraira added: Allah apostle said, “If he had accepted.”
