Musnad Ahmad 10331

Translation

✧ Two sons of mine died, so I said to Abu Hurayrah: 'Have you heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a hadith that you could tell us to comfort us regarding our dead?' He said: 'Yes. Their little ones are the small creatures of Paradise. One of them will meet his father—or he said: his parents—and take hold of the edge of his garment or his hand, just as I am taking hold of the edge of this garment of yours, and he will not leave him until Allah admits him and his father into Paradise.'
