[Machine] I heard Utbah ibn Abd as-Sulami, the companion of the Prophet ﷺ , saying that he heard the Prophet ﷺ saying: "Whoever dies with three children who have not reached the age of puberty, they will be a barrier for him at the gates of Paradise, entering from any of the eight gates of Paradise that he wishes."  

أحمد:١٧٦٣٩ – حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عُمَرَ وَحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا حَرِيزٌ عَنْ شُرَحْبِيلَ ابْنِ شُفْعَةَ الرَّحَبِيِّ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ عُتْبَةَ بْنَ عَبْدٍ السُّلَمِيِّ صَاحِبَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ يَمُوتُ وَقَالَ حَسَنٌ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ يُتَوَفَّى لَهُ ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا الْحِنْثَ إِلَّا تَلَقَّوْهُ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ الثَّمَانِيَةِ مِنْ أَيِّهَا شَاءَ دَخَلَ
