Sahih al-Bukhari 1301

Hadith text

Narrated Anas bin Malik:One of the sons of Abu Talha became sick and died and Abu Talha at that time was not at home. When his wife saw that he was dead, she prepared him (washed and shrouded him) and placed him somewhere in the house. When Abu Talha came, he asked, "How is the boy?" She said, "The child is quiet and I hope he is in peace." Abu Talha thought that she had spoken the truth. Abu Talha passed the night and in the morning took a bath and when he intended to go out, she told him that his son had died, Abu Talha offered the (morning) prayer with the Prophet (ﷺ) and informed the Prophet (ﷺ) of what happened to them. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "May Allah bless you concerning your night. (That is, may Allah bless you with good offspring)." Sufyan said, "One of the Ansar said, 'They (i.e. Abu Talha and his wife) had nine sons and all of them became reciters of the Qur'an (by heart)

Anas bin Malik (رضی اللہ عنہ) bataate hain: Abu Talha ke ek bete bimar hue aur intiqal kar gaye, us waqt Abu Talha ghar par nahi the. Jab unki biwi ne dekha woh mar chuka hai, unhone use taiyaar kiya (ghusl-kafan) aur ghar mein kahin rakh diya. Jab Abu Talha aaye, unhone pucha: "Bacha kaisa hai?" Usne kaha: "Bacha khamosh hai aur mujhe ummeed hai woh aaraam se hai." Abu Talha ne socha usne sach kaha hai. Abu Talha ne raat guzari aur subah ghusl kiya, aur jab bahar jaane ka iraada kiya, usne unhe bataya ke unka beta mar chuka hai. Abu Talha ne Nabi ke saath Fajr ki namaz padhi aur unhe apne saath jo hua bataya. Allah ke Rasool ne farmaya: "Allah tumhari raat mein barkat de" (yaani Allah tumhe achhi aulad se nawaze). Sufyan ne kaha: "Ansaar mein se kisi ne kaha: 'Unke (Abu Talha aur unki biwi ke) nau bete hue aur sab Quran ke Hafiz bane.'"
