Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Any Muslim who loses three children before they reach the age of maturity, will be granted Jannah by Allah, the Exalted, out of His Mercy for them." <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.
عن أنس رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم :
ما من مسلم يموت له ثلاثة لم يبلغوا الحنث إلا ادخله الله الجنة بفضل رحمته إياهم

<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br>
1) Young children are shown mercy by their parents. So, if a person’s young children die and he endures that patiently and expects the divine reward, they will shield him from Hellfire.<br>
2) The coming of people to Hellfire is true and inevitable. However, the believers will only pass on the Sirāt, without being subject to any torture.<br>
3) The believers will enter Paradise by the grace and mercy of Allah Almighty, and none will enter it on account of their deeds.
