وَلَدٌ يُقَدِّمُهُ الرَّجُلُ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ سَبْعِينَ وَلَداً يُخَلِّفُهُمْ بَعْدَهُ كُلُّهُمْ قَدْ رَكِبُوا الْخَيْلَ وَ جَاهَدُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Ismail Bin Bazi’e, from Abu Ismail Al Sarraj, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘A son who preceded the man (in dying) is superior than seventy sons left behind after him, all of them having ridden the cavalry horses and fought in the Way of Allah<sup>azwj</sup>’.
