Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعْنِي قَالَ لِنِسْوَةٍ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ لَا يَمُوت
ُ لِإِحْدَاكُنَّ ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنْ الْوَلَدِ فَتَحْتَسِبُهُ إِلَّا دَخَلَتْ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَالَتْ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ أَوْ اثْنَانِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَوْ اثْنَانِ

English Translation
Qutaybah narrated to us, 'Abd al-'Aziz narrated to us, from Suhayl, from his father, from Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'The strong believer is better and more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, though there is good in both. Be eager for what benefits you, seek help from Allah, and do not feel helpless. If something befalls you, do not say: If only I had done such-and-such. Rather say: Allah decreed, and what He willed He did. For indeed if only opens the door to the work of Shaytan.'
