Chapter on encouragement to patience over the death of children and its reward
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 9396 — on encouragement to patience over the death
عَنْ جَابِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ مَاتَ لَهُ ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ فَاحْتَسَبَهُمْ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَاثْنَانِ قَالَ اثْنَانِ قَالَ مَحْمُودٌ فَقُلْتُ لِجَابِرٍ أَرَاكُمْ لَوْ قُلْتُمْ وَوَاحِدًا لَقَالَ وَوَاحِدًا قَالَ وَأَنَا وَاللَّهِ أَظُنُّ ذَلِكَ
Syedna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever's three children pass away and he remains patient seeking reward, he will enter Paradise. We said: O Messenger of Allah! What if there are two children? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Even if there are two. Mahmood, the narrator, says: I said to Syedna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him): I think that if you had asked about one child, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would have said: Even if it is one. He said: By Allah! This is also my assumption.
