1605. It was narrated from Anas bin Mālik that the Prophet ﷺ said: "There are no two Muslims (mother and father), three of whose children die before reaching the age of puberty, but Allāh will admit them to Paradise by virtue of His mercy towards them." (Sahih)
1605 - حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ الْمَعْنِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمَيْنِ يُتَوَفَّى لَهُمَا ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا الْحِنْثَ، إِلَّا أَدْخَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ، بِفَضْلِ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِيَّاهُمْ»

No sin is counted against a child before reaching puberty; when a child reaches the age of puberty then his/her sins are counted. The reward for showing patience over the death of children is entry to Paradise. This reward is for both parents, i.e., father and mother. Muslims' dead children will go to Paradise.
