Continuation of the Musnad of Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (RA)

تابع مسند عبد الله بن مسعود رضي الله عنه

Hadith 152:94

On the authority of Ibrahim, from al-Harith ibn Suwayd, from Abdullah, he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Who do you consider to be the *raqūb* (childless) among you?" We said: "The one who has no children." He said: "That is not the *raqūb*, but the *raqūb* is the one who has not sent forth anything of his children [i.e., who has not had any children die before him to intercede for him]." He said: "And who do you consider to be the *ṣuraʿah* (strong wrestler) among you?" We said: "The one whom men cannot throw down." He said: "That is not it, but it is the one who controls himself at the time of anger."

وعن إبراهيم عن الحارث بن سويد عن عبد الله قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم * ما تعدون الرقوب فيكم قال قلنا الذي لا ولد له قال ليس ذاك بالرقوب ولكن الرقوب الذي لم يقدم من ولده شيئا قال وما تعدون الصرعة فيكم قال قلنا الذي لا تصرعه الرجال قال ليس ذلكم ولكن الذي يملك نفسه عند الغضب
