Abu Hassan (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I stayed with Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him). One of my sons had passed away, and I was very grieved by it. I asked him, "Have you heard any hadith from your beloved companion (peace be upon him) that would bring us comfort regarding our deceased?" He said, "Yes, I heard the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) say: The young children of people (who die in childhood) are pillars of Paradise. When one of these children meets his parents, he will hold onto the edge of their garment, just as I am holding onto the edge of your garment, and he will not let go until Allah admits him and his father into Paradise."
