One of the sons of Abu Talha became sick and died and Abu Talha at that time was not at home.When his wife saw that he was dead, she prepared him (washed and shrouded him) and placed himsomewhere in the house. When Abu Talha came, he asked, "How is the boy?" She said, "The child isquiet and I hope he is in peace." Abu Talha thought that she had spoken the truth. Abu Talha passedthe night and in the morning took a bath and when he intended to go out, she told him that his son haddied, Abu Talha offered the (morning) prayer with the Prophet (ﷺ) and informed the Prophet (ﷺ) of whathappened to them. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "May Allah bless you concerning your night. (That is, mayAllah bless you with good offspring)." Sufyan said, "One of the Ansar said, 'They (i.e. Abu Talha andhis wife) had nine sons and all of them became reciters of the Qur'an (by heart).' "
