كتابBook of Virtue in Losing a Child
بَابُ فَضْلِ مَنْ مَاتَ لَهُ الْوَلَدُChapter: Virtue of One Whose Child Dies
Hadith 146
حَدَّثَنَا عَيَّاشٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ”مَنْ مَاتَ لَهُ ثَلاَثَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ فَاحْتَسَبَهُمْ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ“، قُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَاثْنَانِ؟ قَالَ: ”وَاثْنَانِ“، قُلْتُ لِجَابِرٍ: وَاللَّهِ، أَرَى لَوْ قُلْتُمْ وَاحِدٌ لَقَالَ. قَالَ: وَأَنَا أَظُنُّهُ وَاللَّهِ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "Whoever's three children die and he remains patient seeking reward, he will enter Paradise." We asked: O Messenger of Allah! What about the one whose two (children) die? He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever's two (children) die (he will also enter Paradise)." I said to Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him): By Allah! I think that if you had said 'the one with one (child)', he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would have surely said that the one whose one (child) dies, he too (will enter Paradise)." Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Allah! I also think the same.
