حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى وَتَقَارَبَا فِي اللَّفْظِ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي السَّلِيلِ عَنْ أَبِي حَسَّانَ قَالَ

قُلْتُ لأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ إِنَّهُ قَدْ مَاتَ لِيَ ابْنَانِ فَمَا أَنْتَ مُحَدِّثِي عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِحَدِيثٍ تُطَيِّبُ بِهِ أَنْفُسَنَا عَنْ مَوْتَانَا قَالَ قَالَ نَعَمْ صِغَارُهُمْ دَعَامِيصُ الْجَنَّةِ يَتَلَقَّى أَحَدُهُمْ أَبَاهُ أَوْ قَالَ أَبَوَيْهِ فَيَأْخُذُ بِثَوْبِهِ أَوْ قَالَ بِيَدِهِ كَمَا آخُذُ أَنَا بِصَنِفَةِ ثَوْبِكَ هَذَا فَلاَ يَتَنَاهَى أَوْ قَالَ فَلاَ يَنْتَهِي حَتَّى يُدْخِلَهُ اللَّهُ وَأَبَاهُ الْجَنَّةَ

I said to Abu Huraira that my two children had died. Would you narrate to me anything from Messenger of Allah ﷺ a hadith which would soothe our hearts in our bereavements? He said: Yes. Small children are the fowls of Paradise. If one of them meets his father (or he said his parents) he would take hold of his cloth, or he said with his hand as I take hold of the hem of your cloth (with my hand). And he (the child) would not take off (his hand) from it until Allah causes his father to enter Paradise. This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Tamim with the same chain of transmitters. And he is reported to have said: Did you hear from Messenger of Allah ﷺ anything which may soothe our heart in our bereavements? He said: Yes.
