A son of Abu Talha fell ill and died while Abu Talha was away. When his wife saw that the boy had died, she prepared something and laid him aside in a corner of the house.When Abu Talha came home, he asked, "How is the boy?"She replied, "He has become calm, and I hope he has found rest."Abu Talha thought she was telling the truth. He spent the night with her, and in the morning he bathed. When he was about to leave, she informed him that the boy had died. He prayed with the Prophet ﷺ, then told the Prophet ﷺ what had passed between them.The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Perhaps Allah will bless the two of you in your night together."Sufyan said that a man from the Ansar reported, "I saw that they had nine children, all of whom had memorized the Quran."

اشتكى ابن لأبي طلحة قال فمات وأبو طلحة خارج فلما رأت امرأته أنه قد مات هيأت شيئا ونحته في جانب البيت فلما جاء أبو طلحة قال كيف الغلام قالت قد هدأت نفسه وأرجو أن يكون قد استراح وظن أبو طلحة أنها صادقة قال فبات فلما أصبح اغتسل فلما أراد أن يخرج أعلمته أنه قد مات فصلى مع النبي ﷺ ثم أخبر النبي ﷺ بما كان منهما فقال رسول الله ﷺ لعل الله أن يبارك لكما في ليلتكما قال سفيان فقال رجل من الأنصار فرأيت لهما تسعة أولاد كلهم قد قرأ القرآن
