Hadith 12248
١٢٢٤٨ - حدثنا شبابة عن شعبة عن معاوية بن قرة عن أبيه أن رجلًا كان يأتي النبي ﷺ ومعه ابن له فقال له رسول اللَّه ﷺ: "أتحبه؟ " (قال: نعم) (١)، فقال: "أحبك اللَّه كما (تحبه) (٢) "، قال: ففقده النبي ﷺ فقال: "ما فعل ابنك؟ " فقال: أشعرت أنه توفي؟ فقال له النبي ﷺ: "أما يسرك أنه لا تأتي بابًا من أبواب الجنة تستفتحه إلا جاء يسعى حتى (يفتحه) (٣) لك؟ " (فقيل) (٤): يا رسول اللَّه أله خاصة أم للناس عامة؟ قال: "لكم عامة" (٥).
Hazrat Muawiyah bin Qurrah narrates from his father that a man came to the service of the Holy Prophet, and with him was his young son. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him, "Do you love him?" He replied, "May Allah love you as you love him." Then (after some time) the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) found the child missing and asked, "What happened to your son?" Then he said, "Did you announce his death?" Then the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him, "Are you not pleased that when you come to one of the gates of Paradise to have it opened, your son will come running and open the gate of Paradise for you?" The man asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Is this only for me or for all people?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "It is for all of you."
