1021. Abū Sinān said: “I buried my son Sinān and Abū Ṭalḥah Al-Khawlānī was sitting on the rim of the grave. When I wanted to leave he took me by my hand and said: ‘Shall I not inform you of some good news O Abū Sinān!’ I said: ‘Of course.’ He said: ‘Aḍ-Ḍaḥḥāk bin ‘Abdur-Raḥmān bin ‘Arzab
narrated to me, from Abū Mūsā Al-Ash'arī: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'When a child of the slave (of Allāh) dies, Allāh says to the angels: "Have you taken My slave's child?" They reply: "Yes." He says: "Have you taken the fruits of his work." They reply: "Yes." So He says: "What did My slave say?" They reply: "He praised you and mentioned that to You is the return." So Allāh says: "Build a house in Paradise for My slave, and name it 'the house of praise.'" (Da'if)
Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is Gharīb.

Commentary
Children are very dear to parents, and it is very difficult to be patient on their death. But the people who submit to the Will of Allāh ﷺ and bear the grief get reward from Allāh ﷺ, and their place is in Paradise.
