Al-Ash‘ath b. Qays narrates: A son was born to me, and I received news of it while I was with the Prophet (saws). I said: 'I would rather have, instead of him, a large bowl of bread or meat for you!' The Messenger of Allah (saws) said: 'If you say that, then they will be a source of stinginess, cowardice, and grief. They are truly the fruit of our hearts, and the apple of our eyes.' [Authentic: Narrated by al-Hâkim (4/239)]
