One who loses one child

Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Any two Muslims (husband and wife) three of whose children die, Allah Almighty will admit both of them (husband and wife) to Paradise by the grace of His mercy towards those (children)." The people said: "O Messenger of Allah! And if two have died?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Even if two (the same reward will be attained)." The people said: "And if one has died?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Even if one (the same reward will be attained)." Then he said: "By the One in whose Hand is my soul, the stillborn child will drag his mother by his umbilical cord to Paradise, if she hoped for the reward on account of him."
(Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Ibn Majah recorded this part of it: "Indeed the stillborn child" — from there to the end.
Ahmad and al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir recorded it. Its chain contains Yahya bin Ubaydullah al-Taymi; I did not find anyone who declared him trustworthy or criticised him.

Hassan bin Kurayb narrates: A child of theirs died, and the child's parents were deeply grieved. Sayyiduna Hawshab (may Allah be pleased with him), the Companion of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), said: "Shall I tell you what I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say? He said it about the death of a child like your son. One of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had a son who had begun to crawl, and he used to come with his father to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Then the child died, and out of grief over his death that man did not come to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for six days. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'I do not see so-and-so.' The people said: 'O Messenger of Allah! His child has died and he is grieving over him.' The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to that man: 'O so-and-so! Would you like your child to be with you now as the liveliest of children? Or would you like your son to be with you as the boldest of boys? Would you like your son to be with you, grown into middle age like the best of men of middle age? Or that it be said to you: Enter Paradise as the reward for what was taken from you?'"
Ahmad recorded it. Its chain contains Ibn Lahi'ah, and there is criticism about him.

Sayyiduna Qurrah bin Iyas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man used to come to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and his son would be with him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Do you love him?" He said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah! May Allah Almighty love you as I love him." Then once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) noticed his absence and asked: "What has become of so-and-so, son of so-and-so?" The people said: "O Messenger of Allah! He has died." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the child's father: "Would you not like that whichever gate of Paradise you come to, you find him at that gate waiting for you?" A man said: "O Messenger of Allah! Is this for him specifically, or for all of us?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "(No,) rather it is for all of you."
(Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say:
Al-Nasa'i (may Allah have mercy on him) recorded it in abridged form, omitting the man's words: "Is this for him specifically?"
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A woman came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and with her was her son, who was ill. The woman said: "O Messenger of Allah! Pray to Allah Almighty to grant this son of mine recovery." The narrator says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked the woman: "Has any child of yours died?" She said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah!" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Was it in the Jahiliyyah or in the time of Islam?" She said: "In the time of Islam." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is a strong shield, this is a strong shield, this is a strong shield."
Abu Ya'la recorded it. Its chain contains Abu Ubaydah al-Naji, who is da'if (weak).

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever buries three of his children (that is, three of whose children die) and is patient over them and hopes for the reward, Paradise becomes obligatory for him." Sayyidah Umm Ayman (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "And if there are two?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever buries two (children) and is patient over them and hopes for the reward, Paradise becomes obligatory for him." Sayyidah Umm Ayman (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "And if there is one?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) fell silent and held back, then he said: "O Umm Ayman! Whoever buries one (child) and is patient and hopes for the reward, Paradise becomes obligatory for him."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat and al-Mu'jam al-Kabir. Its chain contains Nasih bin Abdullah Abu Abdullah, who is matruk (abandoned).

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: A man from the Ansar had a son, and whenever that man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the child would come with him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked the man: "Do you love this child?" He said: "O Prophet of Allah! Yes. May Allah Almighty love you as I love him." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty loves me more than you love him." Some time later the child died. The man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), whereas before he used to bring his son with him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Did you grieve and lament?" He said: "Yes." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Are you not pleased that your son should be with my son Ibrahim, playing with him beneath the shade of the Throne?" The man said: "Yes indeed, O Messenger of Allah!"
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir as a narration of Ibrahim bin Ubayd from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both). If this narrator named Ibrahim is Ibrahim bin Ubayd bin Rifa'ah, then he is one of the narrators of the Sahih, and it appears that it is him, because I did not find anyone among the Tabi'un named Ibrahim bin Ubayd. This narrator is da'if (weak), and the rest of its narrators have been declared trustworthy.

Qays bin Abi Hazim narrates: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) saw some children playing with his son and said: "To me these are of less worth than the same number of ju'lan (beetles)."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever has a child who dies, whether a boy or a girl, whether he submitted to it or not, whether he was content with it or not, whether he was patient or not, his reward will be nothing less than Paradise."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. Its chain contains Amr bin Khalid al-A'sha, who is da'if (weak). The rest of its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).

Sayyiduna Sahl bin Hunayf (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Marry, for I will take pride in your great numbers before the other nations. And the stillborn child will be standing at the gate of Paradise. It will be said to him: 'Enter.' He will say: 'No, not until my parents enter (I will not go in).'"
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. Its chain contains Musa bin Ubaydah, who is da'if (weak).

It is reported from one of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "On the Day of Resurrection it will be said to the children: 'Enter Paradise.' They will say: 'O our Lord, not until our fathers and our mothers enter (we will not enter).'" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "They will refuse." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then Allah Almighty will say: 'Why is it that I see them holding back? Enter Paradise.'" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "They will say: 'O our Lord! And our fathers too?' Allah Almighty will say: 'Enter Paradise, you and your fathers.'"
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
