Lady Habibah or Umm Habibah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that we were sitting in the house of Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the house and said: "If any Muslim couple (i.e., husband and wife) have three children who die before reaching maturity, those children will be brought to the gate of Paradise and it will be said to them: Enter Paradise. They will say: Shall we enter Paradise without our parents? It will be said to them: (Alright) you and your parents enter Paradise." This is the meaning of Allah Almighty's statement: «فَمَا تَنْفَعُهُمْ شَفَاعَةُ الشّٰفِعِيْنَ» "The intercession of the children will benefit their parents."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) addressed the women and said:“Any woman among you whose three children die, Allah Almighty will admit her to Paradise because of them.”One elderly woman among them said: O Messenger of Allah! Will the mother of two deceased children also enter Paradise? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“The mother of two children will also enter Paradise.”

Abu Umamah says that I said to Sayyiduna Amr bin Abasah Salami (may Allah be pleased with him): Tell me a hadith that you heard from the Messenger of Allah and in which there is neither omission nor doubt. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say:

"(1) In Islam, whoever has three children born to him and they die before reaching maturity, Allah will admit such a person into Paradise because of His mercy upon them.

(2) Whoever grows old in the path of Allah, this deed will be a light for him on the Day of Resurrection.

(3) Whoever shoots an arrow in the path of Allah, whether it hits the enemy or not, this deed will be equal in reward to freeing a slave.

(4) Whoever frees a Muslim slave, Allah the Exalted will free every limb of the one who freed (the slave) from the Fire in exchange for every limb of the freed one.

(5) Whoever spends a pair (of anything) in the path of Allah, Allah the Exalted will admit him through whichever of the eight gates of Paradise he wishes."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Every child of the children of Adam, when he is born, Satan touches him, so he cries out loudly because of that touch, except for Lady Maryam (peace be upon her) and her son (Isa, peace be upon him)." Then Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) recited this verse: «وَاِنِّىْٓ اُعِيْذُهَابِكَ وَذُرِّيَّتَهَا مِنَ الشَّيْطٰنِ الرَّجِيْمِ» "And I seek refuge for her (Maryam) and her offspring with You from the accursed Satan."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever from among the Muslims has two daughters born to him, and as long as they remain with him, he treats them kindly, then because of them he will enter Paradise."

The wife of the Messenger, Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), says that a woman came to me with her two daughters and asked me (for something). I had only one date with me, so I gave it to her. She took it and divided it between her two daughters, and did not eat anything herself, and then she left with her daughters. When the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me, I told him the whole story. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever is tested by these daughters and treats them well, they will be a shield for him from the Fire (of Hell)."

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever raised two or three daughters or two or three sisters, until they died (in one narration: until they went away, and in another narration: until they reached maturity), or he himself died, then I and he will be like these two fingers." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured with his index and middle fingers.

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever raises three daughters in such a way that he provides for them fully, shows mercy to them, and treats them with kindness, he will be in Paradise."

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever raises two daughters until they reach maturity, then I and he will come like this on the Day of Resurrection." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) joined his fingers together to illustrate the closeness.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever has two sisters or two daughters, and he treats them well as long as they stay with him, then I and he will be like this in Paradise (close to each other)." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) clarified by joining his two fingers together.
