Hadith of al-Harith ibn Uqaysh (may Allah be pleased with him)

حَدِيثُ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ أُقَيْشٍ، • ٢٢٦٦٥ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ أُقَيْشٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمَيْنِ يَمُوتُ لَهُمَا أَرْبَعَةُ أَوْلَادٍ إِلَّا أَدْخَلَهُمَا اللهُ الْجَنَّةَ ". قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَثَلَاثَةٌ؟ قَالَ: " وَثَلَاثَةٌ ". قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَاثْنَانِ؟ قَالَ: " وَاثْنَانِ، وَإِنَّ مِنْ أُمَّتِي لَمَنْ يَعْظُمُ لِلنَّارِ حَتَّى يَكُونَ أَحَدَ، زَوَايَاهَا، وَإِنَّ مِنْ أُمَّتِي لَمَنْ يَدْخُلُ بِشَفَاعَتِهِ الْجَنَّةَ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ مُضَرَ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Harith bin Aqeesh (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were with Abu Barzah (may Allah be pleased with him) at night. He narrated a hadith from the Holy Prophet (ﷺ), saying: "If four minor children of two Muslims (husband and wife) die, Allah will, by His grace and mercy, admit them into Paradise." The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What if there are three children?" The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "The same ruling applies." The companions asked, "What if there are two children?" He replied, "The same ruling applies." And in my Ummah, there will be a man for whom the Fire will be spread out so much that he will become one of its corners, and in my Ummah, there will be a man by whose intercession as many people as the tribe of Mudar will enter Paradise.
