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.
