Sunan Ibn Majah 1604 (Book 6, Hadith 172) #30956
Reunited in Paradise

SUMMARY: A Muslim who has three children die before reaching the age of puberty will be reunited with them in Paradise.

'Utbah bin 'Abd Sulami said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'There is no Muslim, three of whose children die before reaching the age of puberty, but they will meet him at the eight gates of Paradise and whichever one he wants he will enter through it.’"
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَرِيزُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ شُرَحْبِيلَ بْنِ شُفْعَةَ، قَالَ لَقِيَنِي عُتْبَةُ بْنُ عَبْدٍ السُّلَمِيُّ فَقَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ يَقُولُ: ‏ "‏ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَمُوتُ لَهُ ثَلاَثَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا الْحِنْثَ إِلاَّ تَلَقَّوْهُ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ الثَّمَانِيَةِ مِنْ أَيِّهَا شَاءَ دَخَلَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the reward that awaits a Muslim who has lost three or more children before they reach the age of puberty. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that these children will meet their parent at one of the eight gates to paradise and whichever gate they choose to enter through is up to them. This hadith teaches us that even though we may suffer loss and grief here on earth, Allah SWT rewards those who are patient and have faith in Him with eternal joy and happiness in paradise. It also reminds us that our loved ones are never truly gone as long as we remember them and keep them close to our hearts. We can take comfort knowing that one day we will be reunited with those whom we have lost here on earth in paradise.
