1062. 'Abdurabbih bin Bāriq Al-Hanafi said: "I heard my grandfather, the father of my mother, Simāk bin Al-Walīd Al-Hanafi narrating, that he heard Ibn 'Abbās narrating, that he heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ saying: "Whoever has two predecessors (in death) among my Ummah, then Allāh will admit them into Paradise."
So 'Aishah said to him: "What about one from your Ummah who has one predecessor?" He (ﷺ) said: "And whoever has one predecessor O Muwaffaqah!"[2] So she said: "What about one who
does not have a predecessor from your Ummah?" He said: "I am the predecessor for my Ummah; you will never suffer (in grief) for (the loss of) anyone similar to me." (Hasan)
Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb, we do not know of it except as a narration of 'Abdu Rabbih bin Bāriq, and more than one of the A'immah have reported from him.
(Another route from) 'Abdu Rabbih bin Bāriq, and he mentioned similarly.
And Simāk bin Al-Walid Al-Ḥanafi, is Abū Zumail Al-Ḥanafi.

Commentary
"Farat" means the person who goes first and makes suitable arrangement for the person arriving later, and a minor child who dies is a Farat. The child takes the parents to Paradise. The Prophet is a Farat for every individual of his Ummah because every Muslim loves him more than his own life. As a minor will not be worried about himself but for his parents, in the same way the Prophet ﷺ will be anxious for every Muslim to be admitted to Paradise.
