وَعَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ: لَأَطُوفَنَّ اللَّيْلَةَ عَلَى تِسْعِينَ امْرَأَةٍ - وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: بِمِائَةِ امْرَأَةٍ - كُلُّهُنَّ تَأْتِي بِفَارِسٍ يُجَاهِدُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ. فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلَكُ: قُلْ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ. فَلَمْ يَقُلْ وَنَسِيَ فَطَافَ عَلَيْهِنَّ فَلَمْ تحملْ منهنَّ إِلا امرأةٌ واحدةٌ جاءتْ بشقِّ رَجُلٍ وَأَيْمُ الَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَوْ قَالَ: إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَجَاهَدُوا فِي سَبِيلِ الله فُرْسَانًا أجمعونَ ". مُتَّفق عَلَيْهِ
He reported that the Messenger of Allah said: ‘Solomon said, “Tonight I will surely visit ninety women”—in another version, one hundred—“each of whom will bear a horseman who will strive in the path of Allah.” The angel said to him, “Say, ‘If Allah wills.’” But he did not say it, and he forgot. He visited them, but none of them conceived except one woman, who gave birth to half a man. By Him in whose hand is Muhammad’s soul, had he said, “If Allah wills,” they would all have striven in the path of Allah as horsemen.’ Agreed upon.
