Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that he (the Holy Prophet) said: Three (children) who die in childhood.

Abu Hassan reported: I said to Abu Hurairah (RA) that my two children had died. Would you narrate to me anything from Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) a hadith which would soothe our hearts in our bereavements? He said: Yes. Small children are the fowls of Paradise. If one of them meets his father (or he said his parents) he would take hold of his cloth, or he said with his hand as I take hold of the hem of your cloth (with my hand). And he (the child) would not take off (his hand) from it until Allah causes his father to enter Paradise.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Tamim with the same chain of transmitters. And he is reported to have said: Did you hear from Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) anything which may soothe our heart in our bereavements? He said: Yes.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that a woman came to Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) with her child and said: Allah's Apostle, invoke Allah's blessing upon him for I have already buried three. He said: You have buried three! She said: Yes. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: You have, indeed, safeguarded yourself against the torment of Hell with a strong safeguard. 'Umar has made a mention of his father, whereas others have not made a mention of his father.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that a woman came to Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) with her child and said: Allah's Messenger, he is ailing, and I am afraid (that he may die), as I have already buried three. Thereupon he said: It (their sad demise) would be a protection against Hell-Fire for you. Zuhair has not mentioned the kunya of Abu Ghiyath; he has mentioned his name.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: When Allah loves a servant, He calls Gabriel (ؑ) and says: Verily, I love so and so; you should also love him, and then Gabriel (ؑ) begins to love him. Then he makes an announcement in the heaven saying: Allah loves so and so and you also love him, and then the inhabitants of the Heaven (the Angels) also begin to love him and then there is conferred honour upon him in the earth; and when Allah is angry with any servant He calls Gabriel (ؑ) and says: I am angry with such and such and you also become angry with him, and then Gabriel (ؑ) also becomes angry and then makes an announcement amongst the inhabitants of heaven: Verily Allah is angry with so-and so, so you also become angry with him, and thus they also become angry with him. Then he becomes the object of wrath on the earth also.

This hadith has been reported on the authority of Suhail with the same chain of transmitters except with this variation that in the hadith transmitted on the authority of 'Ali' bin Musayyib, there is no mention of (the word) "Anger".

Suhail bin Abi Salih, reported: We were in Arafa that there happened to pass Umar bin Abdul ' Aziz (RA) and he was the Amir of Hajj. People stood up in order to catch a glimpse of him. I said to my father: Father, I think that Allah loves Umar bin Abdul ' Aziz (RA) . He said: How is it? I said: It is because of the love in people's heart for him. Thereupon he said: By One Who created your father, I heard Abu Hurairah (RA) narrating from Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) a hadith like one transmitted on the authority of Suhail.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) Saying: Souls are troops collected together and those who familiarised with each other (in the heaven from where these come) would have affinity, with one another (in the world) and those amongst them who opposed each other (in the Heaven) would also be divergent (in the world).

Abu Hurairah (RA) narrated directly from Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) that he said: People are like mines of gold and silver; those who were excellent in Jahiliya (during the days of ignorance) are excellent In Islam, when they have, an understanding, and the souls are troops collected together and those who had a mutual familiarity amongst themselves in the store of prenatal existence would have affinity amongst them, (in this world also) and those who opposed one of them, would be at variance with one another.
