Sahih Adab al-Mufrad

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him): I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say, "Whoever has three children die and he remains patient, hoping for reward, he will enter Paradise." We said, "O Messenger of Allah! And if two children (die)?" He said, "And two children as well." I said to Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him): I think if you people had said one child, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would have said one child as well. Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "By Allah, I think the same."
