"عَنْ عَلىٍّ قَالَ: سَألَتْ خَدِيجَةُ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ عَنْ وَلَديْنِ مَاتَا لَهَا فِى الجَاهلِيةِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ : هُمَا فِى النَّارِ، فَلَمَّا رَأى الكَرَاهِيَةَ فِى وَجْهِهَا قَالَ: لَوْ رَأيتِ مَكَانَهُمَا لأبْغَضْتِهِمَا، قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ الله: فَوَلَدَىَّ مِنْكَ؟ قَالَ: فِى الجَنَّةِ، ثُمَّ قال رَسُولُ الله ﷺ : إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنينَ وَأَوْلاَدهُمْ فِى الجَنَّةِ، وَإنَّ الْمُشْرِكينَ وأَولاَدهُمْ فِى النارِ، ثُمَّ قَرَأ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ {وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَاتَّبَعَتْهُمْ ذُرِّيَّتُهُمْ بِإِيمَانٍ أَلْحَقْنَا بِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ} (*).

Khadeejah ؓ asked the Prophet ﷺ about two children of her who had died during the jahiliyyah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “They are in Hell.ʿ When he saw that she was upset, he said: “If you saw where they are now, you would hate them.” She said: O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, about my child from you? He said: ʿHe is in Paradise.ʿ Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿThe believers and their children will be in Paradise and the mushrikeen and their children will be in Hell.” Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited: “And those who believe and whose offspring follow them in Faith, - to them shall We join their offspring...” [At-Toor 52:25].
