Translation: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
Translation: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
491. Narrated Anas رَضِيَ اللّٰهُ عَنْهُ : ' The Prophet ﷺ said: A Muslim whose three children die before the age of puberty will be granted Paradise by Allah due to His Mercy for them. " (Bukhari)
Translation: 492. Narrated Abu-Huraira: ' Allah's Messenger said: “ Any Muslim who has lost three of his children will not be touched by the Fire except that which will render Allah's oath fulfilled. " (Bukhari)
Translation: 11 This refers to Allah's statement: " There is not one of you but will pass over it (Hell): this is with your Lord; a Decree which must be accomplished. * " (19: 71)
Translation: 493. Narrated Abu-Sa'eed Al-Khudri: Some women requested that the Prophet to allocate a day for them as the men were taking all his time. The Prophet promised them one day for religious lessons and commandments. Once, during such a lesson the Prophet said: ' A woman whose three children die will be shielded by them from the Hellfire. " Thereupon, a woman asked;: " If only two die? " He replied: " Even two (will shield her from the Hellfire). " (Bukhari)
Translation: Narrated Abu-Sa'eedol Khodri as above (but the subnarrators were different). Abu-Huraira qualified that the three children referred to in the aforementioned Hadith were not to have reached the age of committing sins (i.e. the age of puberty upon which they become accountable for their deeds). (Bukhari)
