Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 3988

وَعَنْ أَبِي ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيِّ قَالَ : تُوُفِّيَ لِي وَلَدَانِ فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، تُوُفِّيَ لِي وَلَدَانِ ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ مَاتَ لَهُ وَلَدَانِ أَدْخَلَهُ اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ بِفَضْلِ رَحْمَتِهِ إِيَّاهُمْ " ، فَلَقِيَنِي أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَقَالَ : أَنْتَ الَّذِي حَدَّثَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْوَلَدَيْنِ ؟ قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ . قَالَ : لَأَنْ تَكُونَ حَدَّثْتَنِي بِهِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِمَّا غُلِّقَتْ عَلَيْهِ فِلَسْطِينُ .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ وَفَرَّقَهُمَا جَعَلَ الْأَشْجَعِيَّ الَّذِي تَقَدَّمَ غَيْرَ هَذَا - وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ - وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Abu Tha'labah al-Khushani (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Two of my children died, so I said: "O Messenger of Allah! Two of my children have died." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever has two children who die, Allah Almighty will admit that person to Paradise by the grace of His mercy towards them (the children)." The narrator says: Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) met me and asked: "Are you the one to whom the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) narrated the hadith about two children?" I said: "Yes." He said: "That you narrate this hadith to me yourself is dearer to me than everything upon which the gates of Palestine are closed (that is, all the wealth and goods found in that land)."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, and he distinguished between the two, stating that the Ashja'i mentioned earlier is someone other than him; and Allah knows best. Its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
