Sunan an-Nasai 1874 (Book 21, Hadith 57) #16485
Allah's Mercy for Parents of Deceased Children

SUMMARY: Allah will forgive the parents of three children who die before reaching puberty, out of His mercy.

It was narrated that Sa'sa'ah bin Mu'awiyah said: "I met Abu Dharr and said: 'Tell me a Hadith'. He said: the Messenger of Allah said: There are no two Muslims, three of whose children die before reaching puberty, but Allah will forgive them by virtue of His mercy towards them"'.
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ صَعْصَعَةَ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ، قَالَ لَقِيتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ قُلْتُ حَدِّثْنِي ‏.‏ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمَيْنِ يَمُوتُ بَيْنَهُمَا ثَلاَثَةُ أَوْلاَدٍ لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا الْحِنْثَ إِلاَّ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُمَا بِفَضْلِ رَحْمَتِهِ إِيَّاهُمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the mercy and forgiveness that Allah has for those who have lost their children before they reach puberty. It was narrated by Sa'sa'ah bin Mu'awiyah that he met Abu Dharr and asked him to tell him a hadith. Abu Dharr then relayed a hadith from the Prophet Muhammad in which he said that if two Muslims have three children who die before reaching puberty then Allah will forgive them out of His mercy. This is an example of how merciful and forgiving Allah is towards those who are suffering from loss or grief. He understands our pain and sorrow and rewards us with His love and compassion even when we feel like we don't deserve it. The lesson here is to always remember to turn to Him in times of difficulty as He will always be there for us no matter what happens in life.
