Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a child dies, is it true that he intercedes for his parents? And how does this intercession take place?
Answer:
He intercedes for his father, as mentioned in the hadith. In the supplication, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prescribed for us, when praying over a child, that we should supplicate and say: “O Allah, forgive his parents. O Allah, they have lost the scales of their [good deeds] because of him, so make his reward for them great. Make him a store, a reward, and an intercessor whose intercession is accepted. O Allah, make him a reward and a store, and an intercessor whose intercession is accepted. O Allah, increase their reward because of him, place him under the care of Ibrahim, and protect him, by Your mercy, from the punishment of the blazing Fire.” This indicates that children intercede.
In the sense that they are, and therefore they are called *afrat* (those who go before). The *farat* is the one who precedes. Among the Arabs, the *farat* is the one who precedes to the source of water. So he precedes his parents to Paradise. *Farat* means he precedes his parents to Paradise. So he intercedes for his parents by the permission of Allah, Mighty and Majestic.
