Jami at-Tirmidhi 1021 (Book 10, Hadith 57) #26588
The Reward of Praise

SUMMARY: When a child of a slave of Allah dies, Allah rewards the parents with a house in Paradise for praising Him.

Abu Sinan said: "I buried my son Sinan and Abu Talhah Al-Khawlani was sitting on the rim of the grave. When I wanted to leave he took me by my hand and said: 'Shall I not inform you of some good new O Abu Sinan!' I said: 'Of course'. He said: 'Ad-Dahhak bin Abdur-Rahman bin Arzab narrated to me, from Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'When a child of the slave (of Allah) died, Allah says to the angels: "Have you taken the fruits of his work". They reply: "Yes". So He says: "What did My slave say?" They reply: "He praised you and mentioned that to You is the return". So Allah says: "Build a house in Paradise for My slave, and name it 'the house of praise'."
