Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ‏:‏ لاَ يَمُوتُ لأَحَدٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ثَلاَثَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ، فَتَمَسَّهُ النَّارُ، إِلاَّ تَحِلَّةَ الْقَسَمِ‏.‏

Isma'il related to us: Malik told me, from Ibn Shihab, from Ibn al-Musayyab, from Abu Hurayrah, that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: ‘If three of a Muslim's children die, the Fire will touch him only for the fulfillment of an oath.’

Notes and open questions — unreviewed

  • The phrase تحلة القسم is rendered literally as ‘the fulfillment of an oath’; the translation does not expand on its interpretation.
