a man came to the Prophet accompanied by a son of his. He said to him: "Do you love him?" He said: "May Allah love you as I love him." Then he (the son) died and he noticed his absence and asked about him. He said: "Will it not make you happy to know that you will not come to any of the gates of Paradise but you will find him there, trying to open it for you?"

أَنَّ رَجُلاً أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَمَعَهُ ابْنٌ لَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَتُحِبُّهُ فَقَالَ أَحَبَّكَ اللَّهُ كَمَا أُحِبُّهُ فَمَاتَ فَفَقَدَهُ فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ مَا يَسُرُّكَ أَنْ لاَ تَأْتِيَ بَابًا مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ إِلاَّ وَجَدْتَهُ عِنْدَهُ يَسْعَى يَفْتَحُ لَكَ

[AI] A man used to come to the Prophet ﷺ with his son. The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "Do you love him?" The man replied, "O Messenger of Allah, may Allah love you as I love him." The Prophet ﷺ then lost the child and asked, "What happened to the son of so-and-so?" They replied, "O Messenger of Allah, he passed away." The Prophet ﷺ said to his father, "Do you not want to find him waiting for you at the gate of Paradise whenever you enter?" A man asked, "O Messenger of Allah, is this specific to him or for all of us?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "No, it is for all of you."

أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ يَأْتِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَمَعَهُ ابْنٌ لَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيّ ﷺ أَتُحِبُّهُ؟ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَحَبَّكَ اللهُ كَمَا أُحِبُّهُ فَفَقَدَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا فَعَلَ ابْنُ فُلَانٍ؟ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَاتَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِأَبِيهِ أَمَا تُحِبُّ أَنْ لَا تَأْتِيَ بَابًا مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ إِلَّا وَجَدْتَهُ يَنْتَظِرُكَ؟ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَهُ خَاصَّةً أَمْ لِكُلِّنَا؟ قَالَ بَلْ لِكُلِّكُمْ

The Prophet ﷺ said to his father, "Would you not want to enter any of the gates of Paradise and find him waiting for you?" A man then asked, "O Messenger of Allah, is this privilege for him only or for all of us?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Rather, it is for all of you."

إِنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ يَأْتِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَمَعَهُ ابْنٌ لَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَتُحِبُّهُ؟ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَحَبَّكَ اللهُ كَمَا أُحِبُّهُ فَفَقَدَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا فَعَلَ ابْنُ فُلَانٍ؟ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَاتَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِأَبِيهِ أَمَا تُحِبُّ أَنْ لَا تَأْتِيَ بَابًا مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ إِلَّا وَجَدْتَهُ يَنْتَظِرُكَ؟ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَهُ خَاصَّةً أَوْ لِكُلِّنَا؟ قَالَ بَلْ لِكُلِّكُمْ

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Would it not please you that every time you enter one of the gates of Paradise, you find him waiting for you?" A man asked, "Even for me specifically or for all of us?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "For all of you."

أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ يَأْتِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَمَعَهُ ابْنٌ لَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَتُحِبُّهُ؟» فَقَالَ أَحَبَّكَ اللَّهُ كَمَا أَحْبَبْتَهُ فَفَقَدَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «مَا فَعَلَ فُلَانٌ؟» قَالُوا مَاتَ ابْنُهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَمَا يَسُرُّكَ أَنْ لَا تَأْتِيَ بَابًا مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ إِلَّا وَجَدْتَهُ يَنْتَظِرُكَ؟» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَلَهُ خَاصَّةً أَوْ لِكُلِّنَا قَالَ «بَلْ لِكُلِّكُمْ»

كَانَ رَجُلٌ يَخْتَلِفُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَعَ بُنَيٍّ لَهُ فَفَقَدَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالُوا مَاتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِأَبِيهِ «أَمَا يَسُرُّكَ أَلَا تَأْتِي بَابًا مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ إِلَّا وَجَدْتَهُ يَنْتَظِرُكَ»

Then he (the son) died and he noticed his absence and asked about him.
