عن ابي حسان قال توفي ابنان لي فقلت لابي هريرة سمعت من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم حديثا تحدثناه يطيب انفسنا عن موتانا قال نعم صغارهم دعاميص الجنة يلقى احدهم اباه او قال ابويه فياخذ بناحية ثوبه او يده كما آخذ بصنفة ثوبك هذا فلا يفارقه حتى يدخله الله واباه الجنة
Abu Hassan says: My two sons passed away, so I said to Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him): Narrate to us any hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that would comfort our souls regarding our deceased. He said: Yes, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The young children (of the believers) will be the little birds of Paradise (meaning, they will come and go in Paradise without restriction). Such a child will meet his father or his parents, will take hold of his hand, just as I have taken hold of the edge of your garment, and will not let go, until Allah, the Exalted, admits him and his father both into Paradise.
