حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاق بْنُ يُوسُفَ ، عَنِ الْعَوَّامِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ مَوْلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ قَدَّمَ ثَلَاثَةً مِنَ الْوَلَدِ لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا الْحِنْثَ كَانُوا لَهُ حِصْنًا حَصِينًا مِنَ النَّارِ " ، فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ : قَدَّمْتُ اثْنَيْنِ ، قَالَ : " وَاثْنَيْنِ " ، فَقَالَ أُبَيُّ بْنُ أَبُو المُنْذرِ كَعْبٍ سَيِّدُ الْقُرَّاءِ قَدَّمْتُ وَاحِدًا ، قَالَ : " وَوَاحِدًا " .
´It was narrated from ‘Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` “Whoever sends fourth three of his children who had not reached the age of puberty, they will be a strong fortification for him against the Fire.” Abu Dharr said: “I sent forth two.” He said: “And two” Ubayy bin Ka’b, the chief of the reciters, said: “I sent forth one.” He said: “Even one.”

Benefits and Issues:
In the Sahihayn, glad tidings of Paradise have been given upon the death of three or two children.
It is narrated from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri radi Allahu anhu:
The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said (to the women):
"Whichever woman among you sends forward three of her children (i.e., they pass away before her), they will become a barrier for her from the Fire of Hell."
A woman asked, "And two children? (Is there the same virtue for patience upon the death of two children?)"
The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, "Even two children (bring the same glad tidings for the one who sends them forward)." (Sahih al-Bukhari, al-Jana'iz, Chapter: The Virtue of One Whose Child Dies and He Seeks Reward, Hadith: 1249; and Sahih Muslim, al-Birr wa al-Silah wa al-Adab, Chapter: The Virtue of One Whose Child Dies and He Seeks Reward, Hadith: 2632)
And in some hasan (good) narrations, glad tidings of Paradise are given even for one child,
on the condition that faith and seeking reward (ihtisab) are present. See: (al-Silsilah al-Sahihah: 398/3, No. 1408)
Therefore, this narration is also correct in meaning.

He is called "Sayyid al-Qurra" (the leader of the reciters) because the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said about him:
"The most proficient reciter among you is Ubayy."
Note:
(In the chain of narration, "Abu Muhammad" is unknown,
and "Abu Ubaydah" did not hear directly from his father Ibn Mas'ud (radi Allahu anhu).)
