bless him and grant him peace, say, 'There is no Muslim who has three of
his children die before they reach puberty without Allah admitting him to
the Garden by virtue of His mercy to them. There is no man who frees a Muslim
with Allah Almighty making each of the limbs of the one who is freed a ransom
for each of the emancipator's limbs.'"

'Abdullah reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "Which of you prefers the money of heirs to his
own money?" "Messenger of Allah," they replied, "there is none of us who
does not prefer his own wealth to that of his heirs." The Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Know that there is not one
of you who does not prefer his heirs' money to his own. Your wealth is what
you have spent (for Allah) and the wealth of your heirs is what you leave."

He said that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, "Who do you reckon to be the childless among you?" They said,

are those who have not sent any of their children ahead (i.e. none of their
children have died)."
قَالَ: وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: مَا تَعُدُّونَ فِيكُمُ الصُّرَعَةَ؟ قَالُوا: هُوَ الَّذِي لاَ تَصْرَعُهُ الرِّجَالُ، فَقَالَ: لاَ، وَلَكِنَّ الصُّرَعَةَ الَّذِي يَمْلِكُ نَفْسَهُ عِنْدَ الْغَضَبِ.
He reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "Who do you reckon to be the one who most often throws people

when he is angry."
