Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 12240 — The reward for a child whom a man
١٢٢٤٠ - حدثنا حفص بن غياث عن (طلق) (١) بن معاوية عن أبي زرعة عن أبي هريرة قال: أتت (النبي ﷺ امرأة) (٢) بصبي فقالت: يا رسول اللَّه، ادع اللَّه له فلقد دفنت ثلاثة، (قال: "دفنت ثلاثة؟) (٣) " قالت: نعم، قال: "لقد احتظرت بحِظَار شديد من النار" (٤).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a woman brought her child to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah Almighty for this child (that Allah may grant him a long life), for I have already buried three children." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You have buried three children?" She said: "Yes." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, they are a strong barrier for you against the Fire (on the Day of Resurrection)."
