Hadith 762
أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ، حَدَّثَنِي الطَّلْقُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ، وَأخْبَرَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ، حَدَّثَنِي جَدِّي طَلْقُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ بِابْنٍ لَهَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَشْتَكِي، فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَخَافُ عَلَيْهِ وَقَدْ قَدَّمْتُ ثَلَاثَةً، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((لَقَدِ احْتَظَرْتِ بِحَظَارَةٍ شَدِيدَةٍ مِنَ النَّارِ)) .
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: A woman came to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) with her son. She said: O Messenger of Allah! I fear for him, as I have already sent three children ahead (i.e., they have died). The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "You have indeed built a very strong barrier against Hellfire."
