Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ud
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5352 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Any Muslim
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْعَوَّامُ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ مَوْلًى لِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمَيْنِ يَمُوتُ لَهُمَا ثَلَاثٌ إِلَّا كَانُوا لَهُمَا حِصْنًا حَصِينًا مِنَ النَّارِ ، قَالَ : فَقُلْنَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، وَإِنْ كَانَا اثْنَيْنِ ؟ قَالَ : وَإِنْ كَانَا اثْنَيْنِ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، لَمْ أُقَدِّمْ إِلَّا اثْنَيْنِ ؟ قَالَ : وَإِنْ كَانَا اثْنَيْنِ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ أَبُو الْمُنْذِرِ سَيِّدُ الْقُرَّاءِ : لَمْ أُقَدِّمْ إِلَّا وَاحِدًا ؟ قَالَ : وَإِنْ كَانَ وَاحِدًا ، قَالَ : إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ عِنْدَ الصَّدْمَةِ الْأُولَى .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Any Muslim couple whose three children die (before reaching maturity), they will become a strong fortress for them protecting them from the Fire of Hell." We said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and if they are two?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Even if they are only two." Then Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I have sent ahead (in my life) only two children?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Even if they are only two." Then the leader of the reciters, Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him), said: "I have sent ahead only one child?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Even if it is only one." Along with this, he (peace and blessings be upon him) also made clear: "Indeed, this matter (of reward) depends on (patience) at the very beginning of the shock."
