حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْبَخْتَرِيُّ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلُّوا عَلَی أَطْفَالِکُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ مِنْ أَفْرَاطِکُمْ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1509
It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Prophet P.B.U.H said: 'Offer the (funeral) prayer for your children, for they have gone ahead of you (i.e. to prepare your place in Paradise for you)." (Da 'if)
