[Machine] I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a hadith that he narrated to us, which eases our souls about our deceased. He said, "Indeed, their small children are the doorkeepers of Paradise. One of them meets his father or his parents and takes hold of the hem of his garment or his hand, just as you would hold on to the hem of your garment. So, he does not leave him until he enters Paradise along with him."  

أحمد:١٠٦٢٠ – حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي السَّلِيلِ عَنْ أَبِي حَسَّانَ قَالَ تُوُفِّيَ ابْنَانِ فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَدِيثًا تُحَدِّثُنَاهُ يُطَيِّبُ بِأَنْفُسِنَا عَنْ مَوْتَانَا قَالَ نَعَمْ صِغَارُهُمْ دَعَامِيصُ الْجَنَّةِ يَلْقَى أَحَدُهُمْ أَبَاهُ أَوْ أَبَوَيْهِ فَيَأْخُذُ بِنَاحِيَةِ ثَوْبِهِ أَوْ يَدِهِ كَمَا آخُذُ بِصَنِفَةِ ثَوْبِكَ هَذَا فَلَا يُفَارِقُهُ حَتَّى يُدْخِلَهُ وَإِيَّاهُ الْجَنَّةَ

[Machine] Two of my sons died, so I said to Abu Hurairah, "Did you hear from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a hadith that comforts us about the death of our loved ones?" He replied, "Yes, their little ones are the birds of paradise. When one of them meets his father or both of his parents, he takes hold of the edge of his garment or his hand, just as I am taking hold of the edge of your garment now, and does not leave him until Allah admits him and his father into Paradise."  

أحمد:١٠٣٣١ – حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي السَّلِيلِ عَنْ أَبِي حَسَّانَ قَالَ

تُوُفِّيَ ابْنَانِ لِي فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَدِيثًا تُحَدِّثُنَاهُ يُطَيِّبُ بِأَنْفُسِنَا عَنْ مَوْتَانَا؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ صِغَارُهُمْ دَعَامِيصُ الْجَنَّةِ يَلْقَى أَحَدُهُمْ أَبَاهُ أَوْ قَالَ أَبَوَيْهِ فَيَأْخُذُ بِنَاحِيَةِثَوْبِهِ أَوْ يَدِهِ كَمَا آخُذُ بِصَنِفَةِ ثَوْبِكَ هَذَا فَلَا يُفَارِقُهُ حَتَّى يُدْخِلَهُ اللهُ وَأَبَاهُ الْجَنَّةَ
