The death of children

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a son of Sayyiduna Adam (peace be upon him) died, Sayyiduna Adam (peace be upon him) said to his wife, Sayyidah Hawwa (may Allah be pleased with her): 'Your son has died.' She asked: 'What is death?' Sayyiduna Adam (peace be upon him) said: 'Now he will neither eat, nor drink, nor grasp, nor walk.' When Sayyiduna Adam (peace be upon him) said this, Sayyidah Hawwa (may Allah be pleased with her) let out a scream. Sayyiduna Adam (peace be upon him) said: 'Now wailing is laid upon you and your daughters, and I and my sons will be free of it.' So after that, women weep and beat themselves (excessively over a deceased person)."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. Its chain contains a narrator, al-Husayn bin Sayyar, and he is matruk (abandoned).

Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports from Sayyiduna Amr bin Abasah (may Allah be pleased with him): I said to him: "Narrate to us a hadith that you heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), in which there is no deficiency and no error." He said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever has three children born to him in Islam (that is, while he is a Muslim), and they then die before reaching puberty, Allah Almighty will admit him into Paradise because of His mercy towards those children. And whoever spends a pair (of anything) in the path of Allah, Allah Almighty will admit him into Paradise through whichever of the eight gates of Paradise he wishes."
Imam Ahmad recorded it. Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir in abridged form, leaving out the part about spending, and he recorded these words: "Allah Almighty will admit him and them into Paradise by His mercy." The chain of this report is hasan (good).

Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) reports this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Whoever loses three of his own children, and hopes for reward for them from Allah Almighty in the path of Allah, Paradise becomes due for him."
Imam Ahmad and Imam al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir recorded it. The narrators of Imam al-Tabarani are thiqat (trustworthy).

Muhammad bin Sirin says: A woman narrated a hadith to us. That woman used to visit us; her name was Mawiyah, and her children would not survive. That woman came to Ubaydullah bin Ma'mar al-Qurashi, and with him was one of the Companions. That Companion related that once a woman came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) bringing her child with her. She said: "O Messenger of Allah! Pray to Allah Almighty that He lets this child remain with me, for three of my children have already died before him." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Since you accepted Islam?" She said: "Yes." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Since you accepted Islam?" She said: "Yes." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Since you accepted Islam?" She said: "Yes." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is a strong shield." The woman named Mawiyah says: Ubaydullah bin Ma'mar said: "O Mawiyah, listen to this." Muhammad bin Sirin says: When the woman named Mawiyah came out from Ubaydullah bin Ma'mar, she narrated this hadith to us.
Imam Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih, except the woman named Mawiyah, the teacher of Ibn Sirin, whose case is different.

Sayyidah Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her), the mother of Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), narrates that she heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Any two Muslims (husband and wife) whose three children die before reaching puberty, Allah Almighty will admit them (the husband and wife) into Paradise by the grace of His mercy towards those children."
Imam Ahmad recorded it, and Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir. Its chain contains a narrator, Umar bin Asim al-Ansari; I have not found anyone who declared him thiqah (trustworthy) or da'if (weak). The remaining narrators of this report are the narrators of the Sahih.

A woman named Sayyidah Raja' (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: Once I was with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when a woman came to him bringing her child. She said: "O Messenger of Allah! Pray to Allah Almighty for blessing for me in this child, for three of my children have died." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Since you accepted Islam (have your three children died)?" She said: "Yes." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is a strong shield." Then a man said to me: "O Raja'! Listen to what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is saying."
Imam Ahmad and Imam al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir recorded it, though he (al-Tabarani) gave the woman's name as Rahma'. The narrators of this report are the narrators of the Sahih.

Sayyiduna Uthman bin Abi al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Such a person has obtained a strong shield, three of whose children die after he has accepted Islam (or while he is a Muslim)."
Imam Abu Ya'la recorded it, and Imam al-Bazzar recorded it, though he transmitted the words "a thick shield"; and Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir. Its chain contains a narrator, Abdur-Rahman bin Ishaq Abu Shaybah, and he is da'if (weak).

Abdur-Rahman bin A'idh narrates: Shurahbil bin al-Simt said to Sayyiduna Amr bin Abasah (may Allah be pleased with him): "Will you narrate to me a hadith that you heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He replied: "Yes. I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Allah Almighty says: My love is established for those who form ranks together for My sake, and My love is established for those who help one another for My sake. Any believing man or believing woman who faces the death of three of their own children who have not yet reached puberty, Allah Almighty will admit him (the believing man or woman) into Paradise by the grace of His mercy towards those children.'"
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Saghir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. Its chain contains a narrator, Munabbih bin Uthman; I have not found anyone who gives his biography.

Sayyiduna Abdur-Rahman bin Bashir al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever has three children die who have not yet reached puberty, that person will come to Hell only as one passing along the way." The narrator says: This means he will come to it while crossing over the Sirat (the bridge). Its narrators have been declared trustworthy, except al-Tabarani's teacher, Ahmad bin Mas'ud al-Maqdisi, whose case is different; I have not found anyone who gives his biography.

A woman named Sayyidah Habibah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that she was with Sayyidah Aishah Siddiqah (may Allah be pleased with her). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came; he came in to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) and said: "Any Muslim husband and wife whose three children die before reaching puberty, they (the children) will be brought on the Day of Resurrection until they are made to stand at the gate of Paradise. It will be said to them: 'Enter Paradise.' They will say: 'No, not until our parents enter.' Then it will be said to them: 'Enter Paradise, you and your parents.'"
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir. Its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih, except Yazid bin Abi Bakrah, whose case is different; Ibn Hibban declared him thiqah (trustworthy). He also recorded this report again with another chain, whose narrators are thiqat (trustworthy), and Yazid bin Abi Bakrah is not in its chain. And Allah knows best.

Zuhayr bin Alqamah narrates: A woman from the Ansar came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) concerning a son of hers who had died. The people had scolded the woman. She said: "O Messenger of Allah! Two sons of mine have already died since I accepted Islam, besides this one." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You have built a strong barrier (protection) for yourself against Hell."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
(Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Another hadith will come later in the chapter after this one, if Allah wills.

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).
