Sahih Muslim 1654e (Book 27, Hadith 36) #11400
The Power of Saying Insha' Allah

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of saying "Insha' Allah" when making plans and how it can have a great impact on the outcome.

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Apostle as saying that Sulaiman b. Dawud (once) said: I will go round in the night to my ninety wives, and every one of them will give birth to a child (who will grow up) as a horseman and fight in the cause of Allah His companions said to him: Say" Insha' Allah". but he did not say Inshii' Allah. He went round all of them but none of them became pregnant but one, and she gave birth to a premature child. And by Him in Whose hand is the life of Muhammad, if he had said, Insha' Allah (his wives would have given birth to the children who would all have grown up into horsemen and fought in the way of Allah).
وَحَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَبَابَةُ، حَدَّثَنِي وَرْقَاءُ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ لأَطُوفَنَّ اللَّيْلَةَ عَلَى تِسْعِينَ امْرَأَةً كُلُّهَا تَأْتِي بِفَارِسٍ يُقَاتِلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَهُ صَاحِبُهُ قُلْ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ‏.‏ فَلَمْ يَقُلْ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ‏.‏ فَطَافَ عَلَيْهِنَّ جَمِيعًا فَلَمْ تَحْمِلْ مِنْهُنَّ إِلاَّ امْرَأَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فَجَاءَتْ بِشِقِّ رَجُلٍ وَايْمُ الَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَوْ قَالَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ‏.‏ لَجَاهَدُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فُرْسَانًا أَجْمَعُونَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith, narrated by Abu Huraira, tells us about a story from Prophet Sulaiman's life. He wanted to go around to his ninety wives in one night and each one would give birth to a child who would grow up as a horseman and fight in the cause of Allah. His companions advised him to say "Insha' Allah" but he did not do so. As a result, none of them became pregnant except for one who gave birth to a premature child. The lesson here is that we should always remember to say "Insha'Allah" when making plans or expressing our desires because it shows our belief in God's will and power over all things. It also reminds us that no matter how much we plan or prepare, ultimately everything is in God's hands and He alone decides what will happen next.
