Sahih Muslim 2632c (Book 45, Hadith 195) #13773
Resigning Oneself to God's Will

SUMMARY: A woman of the Ansar asked if she would be admitted to Paradise if she resigned herself to the will of God after seeing the sad demise of her children, and Allah's Messenger said yes, even if there were only two.

Abu Huraira reported that Allah's Messenger said to a woman of the Ansar: In case anyone amongst you sees the sad demise of three children of (hers) and she resigns herself to the will of God hoping to get reward, she would be admitted to Paradise. A woman from amongst them said: Allah's Messenger, even if they (the children who die) are two. Thereupon, he (the Holy Prophet, ) said: Even if they are two.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ - عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ لِنِسْوَةٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ ‏"‏ لاَ يَمُوتُ لإِحْدَاكُنَّ ثَلاَثَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ فَتَحْتَسِبَهُ إِلاَّ دَخَلَتِ الْجَنَّةَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ أَوِ اثْنَيْنِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَوِ اثْنَيْنِ
