Virtue of parents who are patient over the death of their minor children
Hadith 259
أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ، نا أَبَانُ بْنُ صَمْعَةَ، نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ حَبِيبَةَ أَوْ أُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ قَالَتْ: " كُنَّا فِي بَيْتِ عَائِشَةَ فَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: " مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمَيْنِ يَمُوتُ لَهُمَا ثَلَاثَةُ أَطْفَالٍ لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا الْحِنْثَ إِلَّا جِيءَ بِهِمْ حَتَّى يُوقَفُوا عَلَى بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ، فَيُقَالُ لَهُمُ: ادْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ فَيَقُولُونَ: أَنَدْخُلُ وَلَمْ يَدْخُلْ أَبَوَانَا، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: - فَلَا أَدْرِي فِي الثَّانِيَةِ - ادْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ وَأَبَوَاكُمْ، قَالَ: فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: ﴿فَمَا تَنْفَعُهُمْ شَفَاعَةُ الشَّافِعِينَ﴾ [المدثر: 48] .
Lady Umm Habibah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated: We were in the house of Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If two Muslims (husband and wife) have three children who die before reaching the age of puberty, they will be brought and stopped at the gate of Paradise. It will be said to them: Enter Paradise. They will say: How can we enter while our parents have not entered? Then it will be said to them: I do not know, the second or third time, enter Paradise and your parents as well. Thus, this is the statement of Allah the Exalted: The intercession of intercessors will not benefit them."
