Khalid al-'Absi said, "A son of mine died and I felt intense grief over
his loss. I said, 'Abu Hurayra, have you heard anything from the Prophet,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, to cheer us regarding our dead?'

say, "Your children are roaming freely in the Garden."'"
Jabir ibn 'Abdullah said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, say, 'If anyone has three of his children
die young and resigns them to Allah, he will enter the Garden.' We said,
'Messenger of Allah, what about two?' 'And two,' he said." Mahmud ibn Labid
said to Jabir, "By Allah, I think that if you had asked, 'And one?' he would
have given a similar answer." He said, "By Allah, I think so too."
