English narration
Narrated by عبد الله بن العباس القرشي
Regarding the Verse "And among men is he who worships Allah's as it were on the very edge." (22.11). A man used to come to Medina as if his wife brought a son and his mares produces offspring. He would say, "This religion (Islam) is good," but if his wife did not give birth to a child and his mares produced no offspring, he would say, "This religion is bad."

هَذَا دِينٌ صَالِحٌ ، وَإِنْ لَمْ تَلِدِ امْرَأَتُهُ ، وَلَمْ تُنْتَجْ خَيْلُهُ ، قَالَ : هَذَا دِينُ سُوءٍ
