Sunan An Nasai 3887

أَخْبَرَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَظِيمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ ابْنِ طَاوُسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَفَعَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ:‏‏‏‏ لَأَطُوفَنَّ اللَّيْلَةَ عَلَى تِسْعِينَ امْرَأَةً تَلِدُ كُلُّ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ غُلَامًا يُقَاتِلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ. فَقِيلَ لَهُ:‏‏‏‏ قُلْ:‏‏‏‏ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمْ يَقُلْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَطَافَ بِهِنَّ،‏‏‏‏ فَلَمْ تَلِدْ مِنْهُنَّ إِلَّا امْرَأَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ نِصْفَ إِنْسَانٍ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ لَوْ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَمْ يَحْنَثْ،‏‏‏‏ وَكَانَ دَرَكًا لِحَاجَتِهِ .

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah, who attributed it to the Prophet: Sulaiman said: 'I will certainly go around to ninety women tonight, each of whom will bear a child who will fight in the cause of Allah.' It was said to him: 'Say: If Allah wills' but he did not say it. He went around to them but none of them bore a child except for one woman who bore half a person. The Messenger of Allah said: If he had said: 'If Allah wills,' he would not have broken his vow, and this would have been a means to help him to get what he wanted.
