عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمَيْنِ يَمُوتُ لَهُمَا ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا الْحِنْثَ إِلَّا كَانُوا لَهُ حِصْنًا حَصِينًا مِنَ النَّارِ فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَإِنْ كَانَا اثْنَيْنِ قَالَ وَإِنْ كَانَا اثْنَيْنِ فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَمْ أُقَدِّمْ إِلَّا اثْنَيْنِ قَالَ وَإِنْ كَانَا اثْنَيْنِ قَالَ فَقَالَ أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ أَبُو الْمُنْذِرِ سَيِّدُ الْقُرَّاءِ لَمْ أُقَدِّمْ إِلَّا وَاحِدًا قَالَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ وَاحِدًا فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا ذَاكَ عِنْدَ الصَّدْمَةِ الْأُولَى
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If three minor children of a Muslim husband and wife pass away, they will be a strong fortress for them against Hell. Someone asked: O Messenger of Allah! What if there are two children? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Even if there are two. Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! I have only sent two? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Even if there are two. The leader of the reciters, Abu al-Mundhir, Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Only one of my children has passed away? He was replied: Even if it is one child. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This reward is given only when patience is observed at the onset of the calamity.
