[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Any two Muslims who have three children that have not reached the age of puberty will be protected by a fortress from the Hellfire." It was asked, "What if they have only two children?" He replied, "Even if they have only two children." Abu Dharr said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have only brought forth two children." He said, "Even if you have only two." Ubayy ibn Ka'b, the master of reciters, said, "I have only brought forth one." It was asked, "And what if it is only one?" He replied, "That is also valid at the first collision."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمَيْنِ يَمُوتُ لَهُمَا ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا الْحِنْثَ إِلَّا كَانُوا لَهُ حِصْنًا حَصِينًا مِنَ النَّارِ فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَإِنْ كَانَا اثْنَيْنِ؟ قَالَ وَإِنْ كَانَا اثْنَيْنِ فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَمْ أُقَدِّمْ إِلَّا اثْنَيْنِ قَالَ وَإِنْ كَانَا اثْنَيْنِ قَالَ فَقَالَ أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ أَبُو الْمُنْذِرِ سَيِّدُ الْقُرَّاءِ لَمْ أُقَدِّمْ إِلَّا وَاحِدًا قَالَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ وَاحِدًا؟ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا ذَاكَ عِنْدَ الصَّدْمَةِ الْأُولَى
