The "and more womb-bearing" (وأنتق أرحامًا) is not found in the relied-upon books of hadith, but its meaning is "more children." Perhaps the hadith emphasizes the Prophet's—peace and blessings be upon him—desire to increase offspring, as in his saying: "Marry the fertile and loving, for I will boast of your numbers."
