Jabir ibn 'Abdullah said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'If anyone has three of his children die young and resigns them to Allah, he will enter the Garden.' We said, 'Messenger of Allah, what about two?' 'And two,' he said." Mahmud ibn Labid said to Jabir, "By Allah, I think that if you had asked, 'And one?' he would have given a similar answer." He said, "By Allah, I think so too."

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ مَاتَ لَهُ ثَلاَثَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ فَاحْتَسَبَهُمْ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَاثْنَانِ؟ قَالَ وَاثْنَانِ قُلْتُ لِجَابِرٍ وَاللَّهِ أَرَى لَوْ قُلْتُمْ وَاحِدٌ لَقَالَ قَالَ وَأَنَا أَظُنُّهُ وَاللَّهِ

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.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِنِسْوَةٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ لاَ يَمُوتُ لإِحْدَاكُنَّ ثَلاَثَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ فَتَحْتَسِبَهُ إِلاَّ دَخَلَتِ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ أَوِ اثْنَيْنِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَوِ اثْنَيْنِ

"Whoever seeks reward for (the loss of) three of his own children, he will enter Paradise." A woman stood up and said: "Or two?" He said: "Or two." The woman said: "I wish that I had said, 'or one."'

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنِ احْتَسَبَ ثَلاَثَةً مِنْ صُلْبِهِ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَامَتِ امْرَأَةٌ فَقَالَتْ أَوِ اثْنَانِ قَالَ أَوِ اثْنَانِ قَالَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ يَا لَيْتَنِي قُلْتُ وَاحِدًا

[AI] From Abu Hurairah, a group of women came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and they said, "O Messenger of Allah, we swear by Allah that we are unable to attend your gatherings due to the presence of men. Please set a day for us on which we can come to you." The Prophet ﷺ informed them of a specific house and told them to come on that day. They came to him on the appointed day. The Prophet ﷺ said to them, meaning that no woman gives birth to three children and raises them with proper care except that she enters Paradise. One woman asked if this applies to two children as well, and he replied, "Yes, even two."

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ جَاءَ نِسْوَةٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْنَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَاللهِ مَا نَقْدِرُ عَلَيْكَ فِي مَجْلِسِكَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ فَوَاعِدْنَا مِنْكَ يَوْمًا نَأْتِيكَ فِيهِ قَالَ مَوْعِدُكُنَّ بَيْتُ فُلَانٍ وَأَتَاهُنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَلِذَلِكَ الْمَوْعِدِ قَالَ فَكَانَ مِمَّا قَالَ لَهُنَّ يَعْنِي مَا مِنِ امْرَأَةٍ تُقَدِّمُ ثَلَاثًا مِنَ الْوَلَدِ تَحْتَسِبُهُنَّ إِلَّا دَخَلَتِ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ أَوِ اثْنَانِ؟ قَالَ أَوِ اثْنَانِ

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)

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."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يَمُوتُ لأَحَدٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ثَلاَثَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ فَيَحْتَسِبُهُمْ إِلاَّ كَانُوا جُنَّةً مِنَ النَّارِ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَوِ اثْنَانِ قَالَ أَوِ اثْنَانِ

[AI] "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.'"

أَنَّ نِسْوَةَ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قُلْنَ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا لَا نَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ نَأْتِيكَ مَعَ الرِّجَالِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَوْعِدُكُنَّ بَيْتُ فُلَانَةَ» فَجَاءَ فَتَحَدَّثَ مَعَهُنَّ ثُمَّ قَالَ «لَا يَمُوتُ لِإِحْدَاكُنَّ ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ فَتَحْتَسِبُهُ إِلَّا دَخَلَتِ الْجَنَّةَ» فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ وَاثْنَتَيْنِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «وَاثْنَتَيْنِ»

[AI] A woman said, "We are unable to attend your gathering with men, so give us a specific day and we will come to you." He said, "Your rendezvous is at the house of so and so." So they went to him and while they were talking to him, one of the women asked him, "If a woman loses three children, would she enter Paradise?" He replied, "Yes, she would enter Paradise." The woman then asked, "Or two?" He replied, "Or two."

قَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِنَّا لَا نَقْدِرُ عَلَى مَجْلِسِكَ مَعَ الرِّجَالِ فَوَاعِدْنَا يَوْمًا نَأْتِيكَ فِيهِ فَقَالَ مَوْعِدُكُنَّ بَيْتُ فُلَانَةَ فَأَتَاهُنَّ فَكَانَ فِيمَا حَدَّثَهُنَّ أَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ يَمُوتُ لَهَا ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ فَتَحْتَسِبُ إِلَّا دَخَلَتِ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ أَوِ اثْنَانِ؟ قَالَ «أَوِ اثْنَانِ»

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)

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِنِسْوَةٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ لَا يَمُوتُ لِإِحْدَاكُنَّ ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ فَتَحْتَسِبَهُمْ إِلَّا دَخَلَتِ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ أَوِ اثْنَيْنِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ أَوِ اثْنَيْنِ

"لَا يَمُوتُ لإحْدَاكُنَّ ثَلاثَةٌ مِنَ الوَلَدِ فَتَحْتَسِبَهُ إلا دَخَلَتِ الجَنَّةَ، قالت امرأةٌ: واثنان؟ قَال: واثنان".
