حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنَا سُهَيْلُ بْنُ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ جَاءَ نِسْوَةٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْنَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا نَقْدِرُ عَلَيْكَ فِي مَجْلِسِكَ مِنْ الرِّجَالِ فَوَاعِدْنَا مِنْكَ يَوْمًا نَأْتِيكَ فِيهِ قَالَ مَوْعِدُكُنَّ بَيْتُ فُلَانٍ وَأَتَاه
ُنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَلِذَلِكَ الْمَوْعِدِ قَالَ فَكَانَ مِمَّا قَالَ لَهُنَّ يَعْنِي مَا مِنْ امْرَأَةٍ تُقَدِّمُ ثَلَاثًا مِنْ الْوَلَدِ تَحْتَسِبُهُنَّ إِلَّا دَخَلَتْ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَالَتْ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ أَوْ اثْنَانِ قَالَ أَوْ اثْنَانِ

English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) — via Sufyan, from Suhayl ibn Abi Salih, from his father — that women came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, we cannot reach you in your gathering with the men. Appoint for us a day to come to you.' He said: 'Your appointment is at the house of so-and-so.' And he came to them on that day at the appointed time. Among what he said to them was: 'There is no woman who sends ahead [before her] three children [who die before puberty], seeking reward thereby [ihtisaban], except that she will enter Paradise.' A woman among them — or two of them — said [asking about two children]. He said: 'Or two.'
