- Fatwa Date:18-3-2015
asallamu alakium dear sheikh my question is how authentic is this hadeeth A man came to Muhammad s.a.w. and said RasoolAllah s.a.w. I do not have children please give me a child. Rasool Allah s.a.w. said Ask Allah he will give. The man said NO. I will ask only You please give me a Child. Again RasoolAllah s.a.w. said Ask Allah he will give. Again the man Asked RasoolAllah s.a.w. then a wahi came to RasoolAllah s.a.w. which asked RasoolALLAH s.a.w to pluck the herb which is growin on the ground and give to this person. And RasoolAllah s.a.w. did pluck the plant and gave it to that person. and after eating that herb the person got a child. your answer in this matter will be greatly appreciated jazakallahu khyran
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.
We did not find this story in any of the Hadeeth or Sunnah literature available to us, although such literature is quite rich. We did not even find it in the books about Prophetic Medicine such as Zaad Al-Ma‘aad or the like.
Allaah Knows best.
