In case anyone amongst you sees the sad demise of three children of (hers) and she resigns herself to the will of God hoping to get reward, she would be admitted to Paradise. A woman from amongst them said: Messenger of Allah, even if they (the children who die) are two. Thereupon, he (the Holy Prophet, ) said: Even if they are two. (Using translation from Muslim 2632c)  

أحمد:٨٩١٦حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَعْنِي قَالَ لِنِسْوَةٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ لَا يَمُوتُ لِإِحْدَاكُنَّ ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ فَتَحْتَسِبُهُ إِلَّا دَخَلَتِ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ أَوِ اثْنَانِ ؟ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ أَوِ اثْنَانِ

Yahya related to me from Malik from Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr ibn Amr ibn Hazm from his father from Abu'n-Nadr as-Salami that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If three of a muslim's children die, and he remains content with that, they will be a protection for him from the Fire." A woman who was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Or two, Messengerof Allah?", and he said, "Or two."

[Machine] "Some women from the Ansar said to him (the Prophet ﷺ): 'O Messenger of Allah, we are unable to come to you with the men.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Your appointment is in the house of so-and-so.' He went there and spoke to them, then he said: 'None of you should have three children without considering himself destined for Paradise.' A woman among them said: 'And two, O Messenger of Allah?' He replied: 'And two.'"
