Chapter: Virtue of One Whose Child Dies
Hadith 143
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ”لاَ يَمُوتُ لأَحَدٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ثَلاَثَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ، فَتَمَسَّهُ النَّارُ، إِلاَّ تَحِلَّةَ الْقَسَمِ.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "A Muslim whose three children die (and he remains patient), the Fire will not touch him, except to fulfill an oath."
Hadith 144
حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصِ بْنِ غِيَاثٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ طَلْقِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِصَبِيٍّ فَقَالَتِ: ادْعُ لَهُ، فَقَدْ دَفَنْتُ ثَلاَثَةً، فَقَالَ: ”احْتَظَرْتِ بِحِظَارٍ شَدِيدٍ مِنَ النَّارِ.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a woman came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) with a child and said: (O Messenger of Allah!) Pray for him, three of my children have passed away. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "You have made a great barrier from the Fire."
Hadith 145
حَدَّثَنَا عَيَّاشٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ الْجُرَيْرِيُّ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْعَبْسِيِّ قَالَ: مَاتَ ابْنٌ لِي، فَوَجَدْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَجَدَا شَدِيدًا، فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، مَا سَمِعْتَ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيْئًا تُسَخِّي بِهِ أَنْفُسَنَا عَنْ مَوْتَانَا؟ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ”صِغَارُكُمْ دَعَامِيصُ الْجَنَّةِ.“
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."
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.
Hadith 147
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ طَلْقَ بْنَ مُعَاوِيَةَ، هُوَ جَدُّهُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا زُرْعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِصَبِيٍّ فَقَالَتِ: ادْعُ اللَّهَ لَهُ، فَقَدْ دَفَنْتُ ثَلاَثَةً، فَقَالَ: ”احْتَظَرْتِ بِحِظَارٍ شَدِيدٍ مِنَ النَّارِ.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a woman came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) with a child and said: (O Messenger of Allah!) Pray for him, three of my children have passed away. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "You have made a great barrier from the Fire."
Hadith 148
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُهَيْلُ بْنُ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّا لاَ نَقْدِرُ عَلَيْكَ فِي مَجْلِسِكَ، فَوَاعِدْنَا يَوْمًا نَأْتِكَ فِيهِ، فَقَالَ: ”مَوْعِدُكُنَّ بَيْتُ فُلاَنٍ“، فَجَاءَهُنَّ لِذَلِكَ الْوَعْدِ، وَكَانَ فِيمَا حَدَّثَهُنَّ: ”مَا مِنْكُنَّ امْرَأَةٌ يَمُوتُ لَهَا ثَلاَثٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ، فَتَحْتَسِبَهُمْ، إِلاَّ دَخَلَتِ الْجَنَّةَ“، فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ: أَوِ اثْنَانِ؟ قَالَ: ”أَوَِ اثْنَانِ“، كَانَ سُهَيْلٌ يَتَشَدَّدُ فِي الْحَدِيثِ وَيَحْفَظُ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ أَحَدٌ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ عِنْدَهُ.
Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a woman came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! We cannot come to your service, so please appoint a day for us in which we may come to you. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Your appointment is at the house of so-and-so." So, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to them as promised and in the admonition he gave them, he also said: "If any woman among you has three children die and she hopes for reward for them, she will certainly enter Paradise." A woman asked: And two children? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The same is for two." The narrator of the hadith, Suhail bin Abi Salih, was very strict in writing down hadith, and used to say: Remember it. No one could write a hadith in his presence.
Hadith 149
حَدَّثَنَا حَرَمِيُّ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، وَمُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالاَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عَامِرٍ الأَنْصَارِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَتْنِي أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ قَالَتْ: كُنْتُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: ”يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمَيْنِ يَمُوتُ لَهُمَا ثَلاَثَةُ أَوْلاَدٍ، إِلاَّ أَدْخَلَهُمَا اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ بِفَضْلِ رَحْمَتِهِ إِيَّاهُمْ“، قُلْتُ: وَاثْنَانِ؟ قَالَ: ”وَاثْنَانِ.“
It is narrated from Sayyida Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) that I was once with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: "O Umm Sulaym! If any Muslim husband and wife lose three children, Allah will surely admit their parents to Paradise out of His grace and mercy upon those children." I asked: "And (will) two children (also be a cause for entering Paradise)?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The same ruling applies for two children."
Hadith 150
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ قَالَ: قَرَأْتُ عَلَى الْفُضَيْلِ: عَنْ أَبِي حَرِيزٍ، أَنَّ الْحَسَنَ حَدَّثَهُ بِوَاسِطَ، أَنَّ صَعْصَعَةَ بْنَ مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَهُ، أَنَّهُ لَقِيَ أَبَا ذَرٍّ مُتَوَشِّحًا قِرْبَةً، قَالَ: مَا لَكَ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ قَالَ: أَلاَ أُحَدِّثُكَ؟ قُلْتُ: بَلَى، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ”مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَمُوتُ لَهُ ثَلاَثَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا الْحِنْثَ، إِلاَّ أَدْخَلَهُ اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ بِفَضْلِ رَحْمَتِهِ إِيَّاهُمْ، وَمَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ أَعْتَقَ مُسْلِمًا إِلاَّ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ كُلَّ عُضْوٍ مِنْهُ، فِكَاكَهُ لِكُلِّ عُضْوٍ مِنْهُ.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa’sa’ah bin Mu’awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he met Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), who at that time had a waterskin hanging under his arm. I asked: “Abu Dharr! How many children do you have?” He replied: “Shall I narrate to you a hadith?” I said: “Why not, certainly.” He said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: ‘Any Muslim whose three children die before reaching the age of puberty, Allah will surely admit him to Paradise due to His mercy and compassion for those children. And any Muslim who frees a Muslim (slave), Allah will free each of his limbs from the Fire in exchange for each limb (of the slave).’”
Hadith 151
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي الأَسْوَدِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ عُمَارَةَ الأَنْصَارِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ صُهَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ”مَنْ مَاتَ لَهُ ثَلاَثَةٌ لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا الْحِنْثَ، أَدْخَلَهُ اللَّهُ وَإِيَّاهُمْ بِفَضْلِ رَحْمَتِهِ الْجَنَّةَ.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever has three children who die before reaching the age of puberty, Allah Almighty, by His special grace, will surely admit that person and those children into Paradise."
