(The child waits for parents at the gates of Paradise)
Hadith Number: 1756
وعن قرة المزني: ان رجلا كان ياتي النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ومعه ابن له. فقال له النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: «اتحبه؟» فقال: يا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم احبك الله كما احبه. ففقده النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال: «ما فعل ابن فلان؟» قالوا: يا رسول الله مات. فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «اما تحب الا تاتي بابا من ابواب الجنة إلا وجدته ينتظرك؟» فقال رجل: يا رسول الله له خاصة ام لكلنا؟ قال: «بل لكلكم» . رواه احمد
Qurra al-Muzani said that the Prophet asked a man who used to come to him along with a son of his whether he loved his son, and the man replied,“Messenger of God, may God love you as I love him." The Prophet missed him, and on enquiring what had happened to so and so’s son he was told that he had died. Thereupon he said,“Would you not like to find him waiting for you no matter to which gate of paradise you came?”A man asked whether that applied particularly to him, or to all of them, and he told him that it applied to them all. Ahmad transmitted it.
