Benefits of the Hadith: (There are no two Muslims who lose three children who have not reached puberty but the Fire will not touch them except as a passing through, unless it is the breaking of the oath. They said: And two, O Messenger of Allah? He said: And two. They said: Until we thought that if we had said: And one, O Messenger of Allah, he would have said: And one.) And clarification of the meaning of (the breaking of the oath) by the entry of all people into the Fire and clarification of their categories.

The Shaykh : Indeed, in the authentic hadith, there is glad tidings for the Muslim couple if three of their children die, or even two; it is a very great glad tidings, where he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Ibn Hibban 11:50 . They said: And two, O Messenger of Allah? He said: , so the question came to him, they said: And two, O Messenger of Allah? He said: . They said: Until we thought that if we had said: And one, O Messenger of Allah; he would have said: And one. Thus, the Muslim's upbringing of his children is not like the disbeliever's upbringing of his children. The disbeliever means that if he marries, it is for pure animal desire, and if he is given a child, it is also for enjoyment in this world. He does not think at all to improve their upbringing so that he may record in his record the reward of his upbringing of them and store up for himself the reward of that with Allah. [Ash-Shu'ara 26:88-89] The disbeliever wants to live only, as came in the Noble Qur'an, how [Muhammad 47:12] the cattle enjoy.
The student :[Muhammad 47:12] .
The Shaykh: Yes.
The student :[Muhammad 47:12] .
The Shaykh :[Muhammad 47:12] Thus, and as I sometimes say, the disbeliever is content to have two children and not two wives, and their fifth is their dog or their sixth is their dog. This is their upbringing. But the Muslim thinks about the Hereafter, not only about this world. What encourages him and drives him to this thought is seeking what is with Allah (Mighty and Majestic) of reward, as in this hadith: Sahih Ibn Hibban 11:50 . They said: And two, O Messenger of Allah? He said: , he said: Even if we had said one, he would have said: And one. This was their assumption, but what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) affirmed was two as well. And what is the meaning of this glad tidings from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)? Sahih al-Bukhari 6656 He (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) is referring to the Noble Verse which says: [Maryam 19:71-72] , [Maryam 19:71] meaning the Fire. And the scholars of exegesis differed regarding this verse in interpreting the entry mentioned in it. This is an oath from the Lord of the Worlds, meaning: It is necessary for every one of the two heavy burdens, the jinn and the humans, to enter the Fire, meaning whether they are righteous or wicked. [Maryam 19:71] What is the entry? There are three opinions. The first opinion, which is the correct one, is entering. The second opinion is passing over the Sirat above the Fire. The third opinion is passing through its edges, its sides, as camels are driven to the pool. And we said that the first opinion is the correct and stronger one due to evidence, the most authentic and strongest of which is that it came in "Sahih Muslim" that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said one day: Sunan Abi Dawud 4653Sahih (Al-Albani) . Hafsah, who is the daughter of 'Umar and the wife of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), said: O Messenger of Allah, Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said: [Maryam 19:71] . The hadith has a continuation, but I stop at her saying that she understood from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he said in clear Arabic that none of the people of Badr and Hudaybiyyah, the people of the Tree, will enter the Fire. It came to her mind that this report appears to contradict the verse: [Maryam 19:71] ; did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) deny her understanding or approve her understanding? But he (peace and blessings be upon him) added a condition to her understanding that she was not remembering, where he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: Read the complete verse after He (the Exalted) said: [Maryam 19:71] [Maryam 19:71-72] ; meaning: This entry is necessary, but this entry is of two types. One type is that those who enter it are not harmed, and they are the believers, and the first among them are the people of Badr and Hudaybiyyah. The second type are those who remain there in the Fire, being punished, each according to his degree. This is the first hadith. The other hadith is that a man from the Companions of the Prophet, or perhaps I should say the second hadith, that a man from the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) fell ill with a fatal illness, so the people visited him and he wept. They said to him: What is the matter with you, weeping, when you met the Prophet and believed in him and fought with him, and so on. They were giving him glad tidings. He said: I have heard Allah (Mighty and Majestic) say: [Maryam 19:71] So I do not know if I am among those about whom He said: [Maryam 19:72] or among the second group. [Maryam 19:72] Thus were the righteous Salaf. The third hadith is very explicit on the subject, were it not that there is weakness in its chain, so we cannot be certain of its attribution to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but its meaning is witnessed by the two preceding hadiths. The hadith is narrated by Abu 'Abdullah al-Hakim in "al-Mustadrak" through his chain from Jabir ibn 'Abdullah al-Ansari from a man from the Tabi'un. He said: We were in a gathering in the evening, and the mention of this verse came up: [Maryam 19:71] He said: So the people of the gathering differed in its interpretation according to the three opinions we mentioned earlier, and the gathering dispersed with this disagreement. He said: When I went out, I met Jabir ibn 'Abdullah al-Ansari on the road, so I mentioned to him the disagreement I had heard in the gathering. He put his two fingers in his ears and said: Be silent. If I had not heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: .
The student: Allah is the Greatest!
The Shaykh : This hadith fully clarifies that entry is necessary. If we know this legal and Sharia fact, you know the greatness of the one whom Allah has granted children who then died before they reached puberty, and they were patient and accepted the decree, and they died to their Lord.Sunan Ibn Majah 1603Sahih (Darussalam) Meaning, passing through these meanings. The disbelievers do not know them, and even if they knew them, they would not believe in them. But as for the Muslim, it is assumed of him first that he knows them. If he knows them, he believes in them. And if he believes in them, the difficulties of life become light for him. At that time, he bears the harm that may befall him or his wife.
There are no two Muslims who lose three children who have not reached puberty but the Fire will not touch them except as a passing through, unless it is the breaking of the oath
ما من مسلمين يموت لهما ثلاثة من الولد لم يبلغوا الحنث إلا لن تمسَّهما النار إلا تحلَّة القسمThree
ثلاثةAnd two
واثنان(88) The Day when there will not benefit [anyone] wealth or children (89) But only one who comes to Allah with a sound heart."

The student :

كَمَا تَأْكُلُ الْأَنْعَامُNo two Muslims shall die with three of their children who have not reached puberty, except that the Fire will not touch them, except for the trial of the grave
ما من مسلمين يموت لهما ثلاثة من الولد لم يبلغوا الحنث إلا لن تمسَّهما النار إلا تحلَّة القسمand two
واثنانwill not be touched by the Fire except that which will render Allah's oath fulfilled.
لن تمسَّه النار إلا تحلَّة القسم(71) And there is none of you except he will come to it. This is upon your Lord an inevitability decreed. (72) Then We will save those who feared Allah and leave the wrongdoers within it, on their knees.
وَإِنْ مِنْكُمْ إِلَّا وَارِدُهَا كَانَ عَلَى رَبِّكَ حَتْمًا مَقْضِيًّا * ثُمَّ نُنَجِّي الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا وَنَذَرُ الظَّالِمِينَ فِيهَا جِثِيًّاAnd there is none of you except he will come to it
وَإِنْ مِنْكُمْ إِلَّا وَارِدُهَاand none of you
وَإِنْ مِنْكُمْAnd there is none of you except he will come to it
وَإِنْ مِنْكُمْ إِلَّا وَارِدُهَاNo one of those who took the oath of allegiance under the tree will go to hell.
لا يدخل النار أحدٌ من أهل بدر والحديبيةAnd there is none of you except he will come to it
وَإِنْ مِنْكُمْ إِلَّا وَارِدُهَاAnd there is none of you except he will come to it
وَإِنْ مِنْكُمْ إِلَّا وَارِدُهَاAnd there is none of you except he will come to it
وَإِنْ مِنْكُمْ إِلَّا وَارِدُهَاThis is upon your Lord an inevitability decreed. (72) Then We will save those who feared Allah and leave the wrongdoers within it, on their knees.
كَانَ عَلَى رَبِّكَ حَتْمًا مَقْضِيًّا * ثُمَّ نُنَجِّي الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا وَنَذَرُ الظَّالِمِينَ فِيهَا جِثِيًّاAnd there is none of you except he will come to it. This is upon your Lord an inevitability decreed.

وَإِنْ مِنْكُمْ إِلَّا وَارِدُهَاNo righteous person or sinner will remain but will enter it, then it will be coolness and peace for the believers, as it was for Ibrahim
