وَقَالَ أَيْضًا: حَدَّثَنَا مَسْلَمَةُ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ، عَنْ أَبِي حَرْبِ بْنِ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ، قَالَ:
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِلْأَنْصَارِ ؓ: مَا الرَّقُوبُ فِيكُمْ ؟ قَالُوا: الَّذِي لَا وَلَدَ لَهُ، قَالَ: لَيْسَ ذَاكُمْ بِالرَّقُوبِ، الرَّقُوبُ الَّذِي يَقْدَمُ عَلَى رَبِّهِ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - وَلَمْ يُقَدِّمْ أَحَدًا مِنْ وَلَدِهِ

✧ The Prophet ﷺ said to the Ansar ؓ: "What is the meaning of 'raqūb' among you?" They said: "The one who has no child." He said: "That is not the raqūb. The raqūb is the one who comes to his Lord - Mighty and Glorious - and has not sent ahead any of his children."
