Sahih al-Bukhari 7469 (Book 97, Hadith 95) #7172
The Power of Insha'Allah

SUMMARY: This hadith is about Prophet Solomon who wanted to have children to fight in Allah's cause, but only one of his wives gave birth to a deformed child. The lesson from this hadith is that we should always say "Insha'Allah" (God willing) when making plans.

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Prophet Solomon who had sixty wives, once said, "Tonight I will have sexual relation (sleep) with all my wives so that each of them will become pregnant and bring forth (a boy who will grow into) a cavalier and will fight in Allah's Cause". So he slept with his wives and none of them (conceived and) delivered (a child) except one who brought a half (body) boy (deformed). Allah's Prophet said, "If Solomon had said; 'If Allah Will,' then each of those women would have delivered a (would-be) cavalier to fight in Allah's Cause". .
حَدَّثَنَا مُعَلَّى بْنُ أَسَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ سُلَيْمَانَ ـ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ ـ كَانَ لَهُ سِتُّونَ امْرَأَةً فَقَالَ لأَطُوفَنَّ اللَّيْلَةَ عَلَى نِسَائِي، فَلْتَحْمِلْنَ كُلُّ امْرَأَةٍ وَلْتَلِدْنَ فَارِسًا يُقَاتِلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، فَطَافَ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ، فَمَا وَلَدَتْ مِنْهُنَّ إِلاَّ امْرَأَةٌ وَلَدَتْ شِقَّ غُلاَمٍ‏.‏ قَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ ‏ "‏ لَوْ كَانَ سُلَيْمَانُ اسْتَثْنَى لَحَمَلَتْ كُلُّ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ، فَوَلَدَتْ فَارِسًا يُقَاتِلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith tells the story of Prophet Solomon, who was known for having sixty wives. He wanted all of them to become pregnant and give birth to sons who would grow up and fight in Allah's cause. However, only one wife became pregnant and gave birth to a deformed half-body boy. From this story, we learn an important lesson about faith and prayer; that we should always say "Insha'Allah" when making plans or asking for something from Allah because it shows our trust in Him and His power over all things. We must remember that no matter how much effort we put into something, the outcome is ultimately up to Allah's will.
