Riyad as-Salihin 953
وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏:‏ “لا يموت لأحد من المسلمين ثلاثة من الولد لا تمسه النار إلا تحلة القسم‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "A Muslim whose three children die (in infancy) will not be touched by the Fire (of Hell) except for the fulfillment of Allah's Oath."[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].[Allah's Oath here refers to His Ayah: "There is not one of you but will cross over it (Hell)." (19:71) And the crossing will be across the 'Bridge' set over the Hell.]
