(Book 16, Hadith 39) #35610
Contentment in Loss of Children

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that if a Muslim parent loses three or two of their children, they will be protected from the Fire if they remain content with it.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr ibn Amr ibn Hazm from his father from Abu'n-Nadr as-Salami that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "If three of a muslim's children die, and he remains content with that, they will be a protection for him from the Fire". A woman who was with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Or two, Messenger of Allah?", and he said, "Or two".
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي النَّضْرِ السَّلَمِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ يَمُوتُ لأَحَدٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ثَلاَثَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ فَيَحْتَسِبُهُمْ إِلاَّ كَانُوا جُنَّةً مِنَ النَّارِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَوِ اثْنَانِ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَوِ اثْنَانِ
