حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ وَيَزِيدُ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا الْعَوَّامُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ مَوْلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ خَالَفَا هُشَيْمًا فَقَالَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ مَوْلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4079
It was narrated from Abu 'Ubaidah bin 'Abdullah that his father said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "Whoever sends ahead three (of his children) who did not reach puberty, they will be a strong protection against the Fire lor him." Abud-Darda' said: i have sent two ahead. He said: "And two." Ubayy bin Ka'b Abul-Mundhir, the leader of the prominent Qur'an reciters, said: i sent one ahead. He said: "And one, but that {i.e., the reward) is only (for showing patience) when calamity first strikes."
