Hazrat Abdullah bin Qais narrates that I was sitting with Hazrat Abu Burdah one night when Hazrat Harith bin Aqeesh came to us, and that night he narrated to us a hadith that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If a Muslim husband and wife lose four small children, Allah the Exalted will admit both of them into Paradise. The companions asked, "O Messenger of Allah! (What about) three children?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "Three." The companions asked, "O Messenger of Allah! (What about) two children?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "And two as well."

It is narrated from Hazrat Muadh bin Jabal that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Paradise is obligatory for those whose three small children pass away. The companions asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What about those with two children?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Paradise has also become obligatory for those with two children.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If three young minor children of any Muslim parents pass away, Allah Almighty, by His mercy and grace, will admit them (the parents) into Paradise.

Hazrat Umm Sulaym narrates that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: If any Muslim parents have three young, minor children who have passed away, Allah Almighty, by His mercy and grace, will admit them (the parents) into Paradise.

Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that whoever has three young children who pass away while he is patient and hopeful for reward, then by Allah’s command, they will be a barrier for him from the Fire.

Hazrat Abu Dharr narrates that I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: If three young, minor children of any Muslim parents pass away, Allah Almighty, by His mercy and grace, will admit them (the parents) into Paradise.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If three minor children of Muslim parents pass away, Allah Almighty will admit both of them into Paradise. Hazrat Abu Dharr submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! Two of my children have passed away." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "And (Paradise is obligatory) in the case of two as well." Hazrat Abu al-Mundhir submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! One of my children has passed away." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "And in the case of one as well (this is so) when patience is observed at the very onset of the calamity."

Hazrat Muawiyah bin Qurrah narrates from his father that a man came to the service of the Holy Prophet, and with him was his young son. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him, "Do you love him?" He replied, "May Allah love you as you love him." Then (after some time) the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) found the child missing and asked, "What happened to your son?" Then he said, "Did you announce his death?" Then the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him, "Are you not pleased that when you come to one of the gates of Paradise to have it opened, your son will come running and open the gate of Paradise for you?" The man asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Is this only for me or for all people?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "It is for all of you."

It is narrated from Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him, may Allah honor his face) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Indeed, the fetus will seek refuge with its Lord that its parents not be admitted into the Fire, until it will be said to it, "O child who seeks refuge with your Lord, wait: indeed, I have admitted your parents into Paradise." And he said: That child will pull both of them (the parents) by the place where the umbilical cord was cut and admit them into Paradise.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A small child being brought before me is more beloved to me than him coming behind me as a horseman (in the battlefield of Jihad).
