Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 12248 — The reward for a child whom a man
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).
Mu'awiyah bin Qurrah narrates from his father that a man came to the Prophet, and his young son was with him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Do you love him?" He said: "Yes." He said: "May Allah Almighty love you as you love him." Then (some time later) he (peace and blessings be upon him) missed the child and said: "What happened to your son?" The man said: "Did you not know that he has died?" Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Are you not pleased that you will not come to any of the gates of Paradise to have it opened, but your son will come running and have the gate of Paradise opened for you?" Someone said: "O Messenger of Allah, is this for him alone or for people in general?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is for all of you."
