Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks: What is the ruling on some people saying to a newlywed couple, "with prosperity and sons" or "from you the wealth and from her the children"?
Answer:
One should bring forth what has been transmitted, bringing the congratulations for marriage as they were transmitted from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). As for "with prosperity," that is from the congratulations of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance.
