English narration
Narrated by معقل بن يسار المزني
Narrated Maqil ibn Yasar: A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: I have found a woman of rank and beauty, but she does not give birth to children. Should I marry her? He said: No. He came again to him, but he prohibited him. He came to him third time, and he (the Prophet) said: Marry women who are loving and very prolific, for I shall outnumber the peoples by you.

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُسْتَلِمُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ابْنَ أُخْتِ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ زَاذَانَ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زَاذَانَ ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ قُرَّةَ ، عَنْ مَعْقِلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : إِنِّي أَصَبْتُ امْرَأَةً ذَاتَ حَسَبٍ وَجَمَالٍ وَإِنَّهَا لَا تَلِدُ ، أَفَأَتَزَوَّجُهَا ؟ قَالَ : " لَا " ، ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ الثَّانِيَةَ ، فَنَهَاهُ ، ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ الثَّالِثَةَ ، فَقَالَ : "
تَزَوَّجُوا الْوَدُودَ الْوَلُودَ ، فَإِنِّي مُكَاثِرٌ بِكُمُ الْأُمَمَ
