Is the following narration reliable?
Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:
“No Muslim has three of his children pass away before reaching puberty, but Allah will admit him to Jannah by virtue of His mercy for them”
Answer:
Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) has recorded these words on the authority of Sayyiduna Anas ibn Malik (radiyallahu ‘anhu). The Hadith is therefore authentic.
(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 1248)
Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim (rahimahumallah) have also recorded a similar narration on the authority of Sayyiduna Abu Sa’id Al Khudri (radiyallahu ‘anhu).
(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 101-1249, Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 2634)
See here for the reward of those parents who have lost one child.
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
