1061. 'Abdullāh bin Mas'ūd narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Whoever has three that precede him (in death) while they did not reach the age of puberty, then they will be a well-fortified fortress for him against the Fire.”
Abū Dharr said: "Two preceded me (in death)" so he (ﷺ) said: "And two." Ubayy bin Ka'b, the master reciter, said: "I was preceded by one" So he (ﷺ) said: "And one, but that is only at the first stroke of the calamity."[1] (Da'if)
Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadith is Gharib, and Abū 'Ubaidah (the son of Ibn Mas'ūd, one of the narrators) did not hear from his father.

Commentary
In this narration it has been mentioned that the children who die as minors will become protection from the Fire in the Hereafter for their parents. The reason is that parents love their children and they submit to the Will of Allāh ﷻ on their death and remain patient. The other reason is that the children are free from accountability due to their innocence. Patience of parents and innocence of children will be a means to Paradise.
