عَنْ حَسَّانَ بْنِ كُرَيْبٍ أَنَّ غُلَامًا مِنْهُمْ تُوُفِّيَ فَوَجَدَهُ عَلَيْهِ أَبَوَاهُ أَشَدَّ الْوَجْدِ فَقَالَ حَوْشَبُ صَاحِبُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِمَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ فِي مِثْلِ ابْنِكَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ كَانَ لَهُ ابْنٌ قَدْ أَدَّبَهُ وَدَبَّ وَكَانَ يَأْتِي مَعَ أَبِيهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ إِنَّ ابْنَهُ تُوُفِّيَ فَوَجَدَهُ عَلَيْهِ أَبُوهُ قَرِيبًا مِنْ سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ لَا يَأْتِي النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ((لَا أَرَى فُلَانًا)) قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ ابْنَهُ تُوُفِّيَ فَوَجَدَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ((يَا فُلَانُ أَتُحِبُّ لَوْ أَنَّ ابْنَكَ عِنْدَكَ الْآنَ كَانَ شَطِيَ الصِّبْيَانِ نَشَاطًا أَتُحِبُّ أَنَّ ابْنَكَ عِنْدَكَ أَجْرَى الْغِلْمَانِ جَرَاءَةً أَتُحِبُّ أَنَّ ابْنَكَ عِنْدَكَ كَهْلًا كَأَفْضَلِ الْكُهُولِ أَوْ يُقَالَ لَكَ ادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ ثَوَابَ مَا أُخِذَ مِنْكَ))
Hassan bin Kareeb says: A child among us passed away, and his parents were deeply grieved. The Companion of the Messenger of Allah, Sayyiduna Hoshab (may Allah be pleased with him), said: Shall I tell you what I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say regarding a son like your son? The details are as follows: There was a Companion who had a son; he had taught him manners, or the child was still crawling on the ground, dragging his hands and feet. That child used to come with his father to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Then it happened that the child passed away, and his father felt so much grief that he did not come to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for six days. One day, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: What is the reason that so-and-so is not seen? The people said: O Messenger of Allah! His child has passed away, and he is distressed because of it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O so-and-so! Tell me, do you wish that your child was with you now and was the most active among the children? Or do you wish that your child was the most courageous among the children? Or do you prefer that your child was a strong youth of thirty to fifty years? Or do you wish that on the Day of Resurrection it will be said to you: Enter Paradise as a reward for the child who was taken from you?
