Musnad Ahmed: Hadith 4051

26. 'Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas''ood'

مسند احمد

4051
Musnad Ahmed
Saheeh because of corroborating evidence; this is a da’eef isnad because it is interrupted. Abu Ubaidah did not hear from his father ‘Abdullah bin Mas'ood]
lt was narrated from Abu 'Ubaidah bin ‘Abdullah that his father said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever sends ahead three (of his children) who did not reach puberty, they will be a strong protection against the Fire for him." Abud-Darda’ said: I have sent two ahead. He said: "And two." Ubayy bin Ka'b Abul-Mundhir, the leader of the prominent Qur'an reciters, said: I sent one ahead. He said: "And one, but that (i.e., the reward) is only (for showing patience) when calamity first strikes.”
