Khalid Absi (may Allah have mercy on him) says that one of my sons passed away, so I was deeply grieved. Eventually, I said to Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), "Have you not heard anything from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding this, by which we may find comfort about those who have passed away?" He said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Your little children are the butterflies of Paradise."
