But if his wife did not give birth and his horses did not produce offspring, he would say: 'This is a bad religion.'"

13798 - From Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with both of them) who said: "Some of the Bedouin used to come to the Prophet (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) and embrace Islam. If they returned to their lands and experienced a year of rain, a year of fertility, and a year of good offspring, they would say: 'Our religion is good,' and hold fast to it. But if they experienced a year of drought, a year of bad offspring, and a year of famine, they would say: 'There is no good in this religion of ours.' So Allah revealed: 'And of the people is he who worships Allah on an edge.'"
