The tremendous compensation from Allah of having to lose a child and dealing with the pain patiently

adab:154Ibn Masʿūd

He said that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Who do you reckon to be the childless among you?" They said, "They are those who do not have any children." No," he said, "The childless are those who have not sent any of their children ahead (i.e. none of their children have died)."

الأدب المفرد:١٥٤قَالَ [عَبْدُ اللهِ]

وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا تَعُدُّونَ فِيكُمُ الرَّقُوبَ؟ قَالُوا الرَّقُوبُ الَّذِي لاَ يُولَدُ لَهُ قَالَ لاَ وَلَكِنَّ الرَّقُوبَ الَّذِي لَمْ يُقَدِّمْ مِنْ وَلَدِهِ شَيْئًا
