حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ أَنْبَأَنَا الْعَوَّامُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ مَوْلًى لِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمَيْنِ يَمُوتُ لَهُمَا ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنْ الْوَلَدِ لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا الْحِنْثَ إِلَّا كَانُوا لَهُ حِصْنًا حَصِينًا مِنْ النَّارِ فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَإِنْ كَانَ اثْنَيْنِ قَالَ وَإِنْ كَانَا اثْنَيْنِ فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَمْ أُقَدِّمْ إِلَّا اثْنَيْنِ قَالَ وَإِنْ كَانَا اثْنَيْنِ قَالَ فَقَالَ أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ أَبُو الْمُنْذِرِ سَيِّدُ الْقُرَّاءِ لَمْ أُقَدِّمْ إِلَّا وَاحِدًا قَالَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ وَاحِدًا فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا ذَاكَ عِنْدَ الصَّدْمَةِ الْأُولَى
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 3554
It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood (RA) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "There is no one among the Muslims, three of whose children die before reaching puberty, but they will be a strong protection against the Fire for him." It was said: O Messenger of Allah, what if they were two? He said: "Even if they were two." Abu Dharr (RA) said: O Messenger of Allah, I have only sent two ahead of me. He said: "Even if they were two." LJbayy bin Ka'b Abul-Mundhir, the leader of the prominent scholars, said: I only sent one ahead of me. It was said to him: Even if it was one? He said: "That (i.e., the reward) is only {for showing patience) when calamity first strikes,”
