Virtue of one whose three or two children die
Hadith 240
94- مالك عن محمد بن أبى بكر بن محمد بن عمرو بن حزم عن أبيه عن أبى النضر السلمي أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: ”لا يموت لأحد من المسلمين ثلاثة من الولد فيحتسبهم إلا كانوا له جنة من النار.“ فقالت: امرأة عند رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: يا رسول الله، أو اثنان. قال: ”أو اثنان.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu al-Nadr al-Sami, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "If any Muslim loses three children and remains patient, hoping for reward from Allah, then these children become a shield, that is, a barrier for him from Hell." A woman who was with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "O Messenger of Allah! And if two (children die)?" He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "And if two (children die, they also become a shield from Hell)."
