Al-Hasan reported that Sa'sa'a ibn Mu'awiya told him that he met AbuDharr finding him alone without any relatives and asked, "Don't you haveany children, Abu Dharr?" He said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allahbless him and grant him peace, say, 'There is no Muslim who has three ofhis children die before they reach puberty without Allah admitting him tothe Garden by virtue of His mercy to them. There is no man who frees a Muslimwith Allah Almighty making each of the limbs of the one who is freed a ransomfor each of the emancipator's limbs.'"
