Umdat al-Ahkam (al-Maqdisi) 367عمدة الأحكام 367
عن أبي هريرة - رضي الله عنه - عن النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - قال: «قال سليمان بن داود عليهما السلام: لأطوفن الليلة على سبعين امرأة، تلد كل امرأة منهن غلاما يقاتل في سبيل الله، فقيل له: قل: إن شاء الله، فلم يقل، فطاف بهن، فلم تلد منهن إلا امرأة واحدة: نصف إنسان. قال: فقال رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم -: لو قال إن شاء الله لم يحنث، وكان دركا لحاجته». قوله: (فقيل له: قل: إن شاء الله) يعني قال له الملك.
Abu Huraira reported that Sulaiman b. Dawud said: I will certainly have intercourse with seventy wives during the night, and every wife amongst them will give birth to a child, who will fight in the cause of Allah. It was said to him: Say:" Insha' Allah" (God willing), but he did not say so and forgot it. He went round them but none of them give birth to a child except one woman and that too was an incomplete person. Upon this Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: If he had said" Insha' Allah." he would not have failed, and his desire must have been fulfilled.
