Majma al-Zawaid 3979 — The death of children

وَعَنْ سِنَانٍ مَوْلَى وَاثِلَةَ قَالَ : تُوُفِّيَ وَلَدُ الرَّيَّانِ وَشَهِدَهُ وَاثِلَةُ ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفُوا مِنَ الْمَقْبَرَةِ قَعَدَ وَاثِلَةُ عَلَى بَابِ دِمَشْقَ ، فَمَرَّ بِهِ الرَّيَّانُ فَقَالَ لَهُ وَاثِلَةُ : يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ ، جَبَرَ اللَّهُ مُصِيبَتَكَ ، وَغَفَرَ لِمُتَوَفَّاكَ ، إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " مَنْ دَفَنَ ثَلَاثَةً مِنَ الْوَلَدِ حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ النَّارَ " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ . وَسِنَانٌ مَجْهُولٌ .
Sinan, the freed slave of Sayyiduna Wathilah (may Allah be pleased with him), narrates: The son of al-Rayyan passed away, and Sayyiduna Wathilah (may Allah be pleased with him) attended his funeral. When they returned from the graveyard, Sayyiduna Wathilah (may Allah be pleased with him) sat down by the gate of Damascus. When al-Rayyan passed by him, Sayyiduna Wathilah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Abu Sa'id, may Allah Almighty mend your calamity and forgive your deceased. I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Whoever buries three children, Allah Almighty makes Hell forbidden for that person.'"
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, and the narrator named Sinan is majhul (unknown).
