adab:145

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 ﷺ to cheer us regarding our dead?' He replied, 'I heard the Prophet ﷺ say, "Your children are roaming freely in the Garden."'"

الأدب المفرد:١٤٥حَدَّثَنَا عَيَّاشٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ الْجُرَيْرِيُّ عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْعَبْسِيِّ قَالَ

مَاتَ ابْنٌ لِي فَوَجَدْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَجَدَا شَدِيدًا فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ مَا سَمِعْتَ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ شَيْئًا تُسَخِّي بِهِ أَنْفُسَنَا عَنْ مَوْتَانَا؟ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَقُولُ صِغَارُكُمْ دَعَامِيصُ الْجَنَّةِ
