حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى الْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي حَرِيزٍ أَنَّ الْحَسَنَ حَدَّثَهُ بِوَاسِطَ أَنَّ صَعْصَعَةَ بْنَ مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَهُ

أَنَّهُ لَقِيَ أَبَا ذَرٍّ مُتَوَشِّحًا قِرْبَةً قَالَ مَا لَكَ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ قَالَ أَلاَ أُحَدِّثُكَ؟ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَمُوتُ لَهُ ثَلاَثَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا الْحِنْثَ إِلاَّ أَدْخَلَهُ اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ بِفَضْلِ رَحْمَتِهِ إِيَّاهُمْ وَمَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ أَعْتَقَ مُسْلِمًا إِلاَّ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ كُلَّ عُضْوٍ مِنْهُ فِكَاكَهُ لِكُلِّ عُضْوٍ مِنْهُ

Translation

Al-Hasan reported that Sa'sa'a ibn Mu'awiya told him that he met Abu Dharr finding him alone without any relatives and asked, "Don't you have any children, Abu Dharr?" He said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'There is no Muslim who has three of his children die before they reach puberty without Allah admitting him to the Garden by virtue of His mercy to them. There is no man who frees a Muslim with Allah Almighty making each of the limbs of the one who is freed a ransom for each of the emancipator's limbs.'"
