وَ قَالَ ع مَنْ قَدَّمَ وَلَداً كَانَ خَيْراً لَهُ مِنْ سَبْعِينَ يُخَلِّفُهُمْ بَعْدَهُ كُلُّهُمْ قَدْ رَكِبَ الْخَيْلَ وَ قَاتَلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ.

Hadith.519 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "Whoever loses a child (before their own passing), it is better for them than leaving behind seventy children after them, all of whom rode horses and fought in the way of Allah (swt), the Exalted and Glorious."
