Hadith 14285

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " مَنْ مَاتَ لَهُ ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ فَاحْتَسَبَهُمْ ، دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ " ، قَالَ : قُلْنَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، وَاثْنَانِ ؟ قَالَ : " وَاثْنَانِ " ، قَالَ مَحْمُودٌ : فَقُلْتُ لِجَابِرٍ أَرَاكُمْ لَوْ قُلْتُمْ : وَاحِدٌ ؟ لَقَالَ : َوَاحِدٌ ، قَالَ : وَأَنَا وَاللَّهِ أَظُنُّ ذَاكَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: Whoever has three children die and he remains patient over them, he will enter Paradise. We asked: O Messenger of Allah! What if someone has two children die? He said: "The same applies." The narrator says that I said to Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that I think if you people had asked about one, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would have said that the same applies to one as well. Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Allah! I also think the same.
