Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 3063 — a boy from among them died and his father

حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، قَالَ : نَا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ، قَالَ : نَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ هُبَيْرَةَ ، عَنْ حَسَّانَ بْنِ كُرَيْبٍ ، أَنَّ غُلَامًا مِنْهُمْ تُوُفِّيَ فَوَجَدَ بِهِ أَبُوهُ أَشَدَّ الْوَجْدِ ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يُقَالُ لَهُ حَوْشَبٌ : أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِمِثْلِهَا شَهِدْتُهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قَالَ : كَانَ رَجُلٌ يَخْتَلِفُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَعَهُ ابْنُهُ ، فَمَكَثَ أَيَّامًا لَا يَجِيءُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : I " مَا فَعَلَ فُلَانٌ ؟ I " قَالُوا : مَاتَ ابْنُهُ الَّذِي كَانَ يَخْتَلِفُ مَعَهُ ، فَلَقِيَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : أَيَسُرُّكَ يَا فُلَانُ أَنَّ ابْنَكَ عِنْدَكَ كَأَنْشَطِ الْغِلْمَانِ نَشَاطًا ؟ أَيَسُرُّكَ يَا فُلَانُ أَنَّ ابْنَكَ كَهْلٌ كَخَيْرِ الْكُهُولِ ؟ أَوْ يُقَالُ لَكَ : ادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ ثَوَابَ مَا أُخِذَ مِنْكَ ؟ I "
لَمْ يُسْنِدْ حَوْشَبٌ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَدِيثًا غَيْرَ هَذَا .
It is narrated from Hassan bin Kurayb (may Allah have mercy on him) that a boy from among them died and his father grieved for him intensely. Then a man from among the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), who was called Hawshab (may Allah be pleased with him), said: "Shall I not tell you of a similar incident which I witnessed with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He related that a man used to come to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) together with his son. Then for some time he did not come to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What has become of so-and-so?" People said: His son who used to come with him has died. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) met him and said: "O so-and-so! Would it please you that your son were with you like the most lively and energetic of boys? Would it please you that your son were a mature man like the best of mature men? Or (would it please you) that it be said to you: Enter Paradise in recompense for the (son) who was taken from you?"
Hawshab (may Allah be pleased with him) did not narrate any hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) other than this.
