some women came to the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) and said: O Messenger of Allāh! We cannot reach you in your gatherings because of the men, so set a day for us when we can come to you. He said: "Your appointment is at the house of so-and-so." He came to them on that day, for that appointment. It was said that among what he said to them was, meaning: he mentioned it. I said: And this chain of narration is authentic according to the criteria of Muslim, and (Sufyān) is Ibn ʿUyaynah, and he has also narrated it in his "Ṣaḥīḥ" (8/39) through another route from Suhayl in an abridged form, and its wording is: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said to some women of the Anṣār: "None of you will have three children die and then patiently seek reward, except that she will enter Paradise." One of the women said: Or two, O Messenger of Allāh? He said: "Or two." This is also narrated by Aḥmad (2/378). The ḥadīth is in both "Ṣaḥīḥayn" from the narration of Abū Saʿīd with a similar meaning, and it is in my book "Mukhtaṣar Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī" (96 - Book/9 - Chapter) and it has already been mentioned under ḥadīth (2302). It contains many benefits, some of which I will mention: 1 - Whoever has two children die will enter Paradise and they will shield him from the Fire, and this is not specific to females, fathers, or children, as there are many other ḥadīths that include both genders, and you will find a good collection of them in "al-Targhīb wa-al-Tarhīb" (3/89-91) and one of them will be mentioned after this
