حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ طَلْقِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ النَّخَعِيِّ أَبِي غِيَاثٍ عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ جَرِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ جَائَتْ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِابْنٍ لَهَا فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ يَشْتَکِي وَإِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَيْهِ قَدْ دَفَنْتُ ثَلَاثَةً قَالَ لَقَدْ احْتَظَرْتِ بِحِظَارٍ شَدِيدٍ مِنْ النَّارِ قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ عَنْ طَلْقٍ وَلَمْ يَذْکُرْ الْکُنْيَةَ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 6704
Abu Huraira reported that a woman came to Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) with her child and said: Allah's Messenger, he is ailing, and I am afraid (that he may die), as I have already buried three. Thereupon he said: It (their sad demise) would be a protection against Hell-Fire for you. Zuhair has not mentioned the kunya of Abu Ghiyath; he has mentioned his name.
