Sunan an-Nasa'i 3831

ʿImran ibn Bakkar reported to us; he said: ʿAli ibn ʿAyyash narrated to us; he said: Shuʿayb informed us; he said: Abu al-Zinad narrated to me from what ʿAbd al-Rahman al-Aʿraj related to him, including that he had heard Abu Hurayrah transmit from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: ‘Sulayman ibn Dawud said, “Tonight I will go to ninety women, each of whom will bear a horseman who will strive in the cause of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic.” His companion said to him, “If Allah wills.” But he did not say, “If Allah wills.” He went to all of them, but only one became pregnant and gave birth to half a man. By the One in whose hand is Muhammad’s soul, had he said, “If Allah wills,” they would all have been horsemen striving in the cause of Allah.’
