Jabir ibn 'Abdullah said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allahbless him and grant him peace, say, 'If anyone has three of his childrendie young and resigns them to Allah, he will enter the Garden.' We said,'Messenger of Allah, what about two?' 'And two,' he said." Mahmud ibn Labidsaid to Jabir, "By Allah, I think that if you had asked, 'And one?' he wouldhave given a similar answer." He said, "By Allah, I think so too."
