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."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ مَاتَ لَهُ ثَلاَثَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ فَاحْتَسَبَهُمْ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَاثْنَانِ؟ قَالَ وَاثْنَانِ قُلْتُ لِجَابِرٍ وَاللَّهِ أَرَى لَوْ قُلْتُمْ وَاحِدٌ لَقَالَ قَالَ وَأَنَا أَظُنُّهُ وَاللَّهِ
