Does the hadith include the young ones who died before reaching puberty?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : As for one who has a child who dies after reaching puberty. Not reaching puberty. Not reaching the age of maturity, does what falls under this hadith appear on its surface?

The Shaykh : On its surface.

The questioner : I mean, the apparent meaning is that if they had carried out the wheat.

The Shaykh : Yes, I mean the young ones.

The questioner : The price. After that.

The Shaykh : So they will not be a shield for him from the Fire, because they were independent of him.

The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah bless you, is it not possible to qualify such hadiths, I mean what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not mention, for example, that it is not for everyone, but only for the patient, and only for the one who is patient, I mean, does everyone who loses three

The Shaykh : intend this? No, patience is necessary, patience and counting it as a good deed are necessary, and also, by His mercy, He will grant them [paradise]. The hadith mentions "by His mercy He will grant them." It is necessary that he have care and mercy for them. But if a person does not know his children, does not care for them, does not bear their harm, and does not bear their annoyance, then this does not apply.

The questioner : I mean, the mercy here is not interpreted as the mere nature that everyone feels, even the disbeliever.

The Shaykh : No, no, it is not weakness; it is practical mercy. Yes.

The questioner : Before the festival. It includes children, even those who die immediately after birth. Children who die for their guardians fall under this, even children who die after birth.

The Shaykh : If they die in the mother's womb.

The questioner : Except after the cry of the newborn is heard.

The Shaykh : Do not go to this extent. If a child dies for you in this state, then seek a ruling, and Allah will open the way for us with that, if Allah wills.

The questioner : Understood.

The Shaykh : Did the Companions, when the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said
They said, "Messenger of Allahالكلام هذا قالوا يا رسول الله أرأيت
Muwatta Malik 16:54
, ask about one who dies upon the cry of the newborn? I see that this deepening of the issue is not appropriate. Matters should be taken on their surface, and praise be to Allah.
