حديث أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ: جَاءَتِ امْرَأَة إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ذَهَبَ الرِّجَالُ بِحَدِيثِكَ، فَاجْعَلْ لَنَا مِنْ نَفْسِكَ يَوْمًا نَأْتِيكَ فِيهِ، تَعَلِّمُنَا مِمَّا عَلَّمَكَ اللهُ فَقَالَ: اجْتَمِعْنَ فِي يَوْمِ كَذَا وَكَذَا، فِي مَكَانِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَاجْتَمَعْنَ فَأَتَاهُنَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَعَلَّمَهُنَّ مِمَّا عَلَّمَهُ اللهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ: مَا مِنْكُنَّ امْرَأَةٌ تُقَدِّم بَيْنَ يَدَيْهَا مِنْ وَلَدِهَا ثَلَاثَةً، إِلَاّ كَانَ لَهَا حِجَابًا مِنَ النَّارِ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اثْنَيْنِ قَالَ: فَأَعَادَتْهَا مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ: وَاثْنَيْنِ، وَاثْنَيْنِ، وَاثْنَيْنِ.
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri Narrated from:
A woman came to Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and said, “O Allâh’s Messenger! Men (only) benefit by your teachings, so please devote to us from (some of) your time, a day on which we may come to you so that you may teach us of what Allâh has taught you.” Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “Gather on such and such a day at such and such a place.”They gathered (on the appointed day and place) and Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم came to them and taught them of what Allâh had taught him. He then said, “No woman among you who has lost her three children (whose three children died before the age of puberty) [1], but that they will screen her from the (Hell) Fire.” A woman among them said, “O Allâh’s Messenger! If she lost two children?” She repeated her question twice, whereupon the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “Even two, even two, even two!” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 413, Vol. 9 )
[1] It is mentioned in an other narration that Abû Huraira رضي الله عنه said: “Those children should be below the age of puberty.” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 341, Vol.2 ).
