Silsilah Sahihah

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The children of the Muslims reside on a mountain in Paradise; Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him) and Sayyidah Sarah (peace be upon her) take care of them, and on the Day of Resurrection, they will hand them over to their parents."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The (minor) children of the Muslims are in Paradise; Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him) takes care of them."

Abu Hassan says that I told Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that two of my sons have passed away. Can you narrate any hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that would give us patience and comfort regarding our deceased? He said: Yes, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The (believers’) young children will be the little creatures of Paradise (i.e., they will come and go in Paradise without restriction). Such a child will meet his father or his parents, take hold of his hand, just as I have taken hold of the edge of your garment, and he will not let go until Allah, the Exalted, admits him and his father both into Paradise.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the children of the polytheists were asked about the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), he said: "They will be servants of the people of Paradise."
