Sahih al-Bukhari 1212 (Book 23, Hadith 12)

Narrated Abu Sa`id: The women requested the Prophet, “Please fix a day for us.” So the Prophet (ﷺ) preached to them and
said, “A woman whose three children died would be screened from the Hell Fire by them,” Hearing
that, a woman asked, “If two died?” The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, “Even two (would screen her from the (Hell)
Fire. ” And Abu Huraira added, “Those children should be below the age of puberty. “

حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الأَصْبَهَانِيِّ، عَنْ ذَكْوَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، رضى الله عنه أَنَّ النِّسَاءَ، قُلْنَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم اجْعَلْ لَنَا يَوْمًا‏.‏ فَوَعَظَهُنَّ، وَقَالَ ‏”‏ أَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ مَاتَ لَهَا ثَلاَثَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ كَانُوا حِجَابًا مِنَ النَّارِ ‏”‏‏.‏ قَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ وَاثْنَانِ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏”‏ وَاثْنَانِ ‏”‏‏.‏ وَقَالَ شَرِيكٌ عَنِ ابْنِ الأَصْبَهَانِيِّ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، وَأَبِي، هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ‏”‏ لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا الْحِنْثَ ‏”‏‏.‏
