قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مِنْ نِعْمَةِ اللَّهِ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ أَنْ يُشْبِهَهُ وَلَدُهُ.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ’It is of the bounties of Allah for a man to have a son who resembles him.’”
مِنْ سَعَادَةِ الرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ الْوَلَدُ يُعْرَفُ فِيهِ شِبْهُهُ خَلْقُهُ وَ خُلُقُهُ وَ شَمَائِلُهُ.
“Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, ‘It is of good fortune of a man to have a son who resembles his father, physically, morally and in his nature.”’
سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ سَعِدَ امْرُؤٌ لَمْ يَمُتْ حَتَّى يَرَى خَلَفاً مِنْ نَفْسِهِ.
“I once heard abu al-Hassan (a.s.), saying, ‘Fortunate is the man who does not die before seeing a successor of his own self.’”
