It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that a woman came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) carrying her child and said, "O Messenger of Allah! Pray to Allah for this child (that Allah grants him a long life). Indeed, I have already buried three children." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "You have buried three children?" She replied, "Yes." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Indeed, they are a barrier for you from the intensity of the Fire (on the Day of Judgment)."
