"عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ لبيدٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْد الله قَالَ: سَمعْتُ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ يَقُولُ: مَنْ مَاتَ لَهُ ثَلاَثَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ فَاحْتَسَبَهُمْ دَخَل الْجَنَّةَ، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ الله: وَاثْنَانِ؟ قال: اثْنَانِ. قَالَ مَحْمُودٌ فَقُلْتُ لِجابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الله: والله إِنِّى لأَراكُمْ لَوْ قُلْتُمْ وَاحِدٌ، قَالَ: أَنَا وَالله أَظُنُّ ذَلِكَ".

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Whoever has three children and takes care of them, will enter Paradise." We said, "O Messenger of Allah, what about two?" He said, "Even two." Mahmoud said, "I thought to myself if they said one, he would have said one." He said, "By Allah, I believe that too."
