أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ذَهَبَ الرِّجَالُ بِحَدِيثِكَ، فَاجْعَلْ لَنَا مِنْ نَفْسِكَ، يَوْمًا نَأْتِيكَ فِيهِ تُعَلِّمُنَا مِمَّا عَلَّمَكَ اللَّهُ. فَقَالَ: اجْتَمِعْنَ فِي يَوْمِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فِي مَكَانِ كَذَا وَكَذَا. فَاجْتَمَعْنَ فَأَتَاهُنَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَعَلَّمَهُنَّ مِمَّا عَلَّمَهُ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ: مَا مِنْكُنَّ امْرَأَةٌ تُقَدِّمُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهَا مِنْ وَلَدِهَا ثَلاَثَةً، إِلاَّ كَانَ لَهَا حِجَابًا مِنَ النَّارِ. فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اثْنَيْنِ؟ قَالَ فَأَعَادَتْهَا مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ: وَاثْنَيْنِ وَاثْنَيْنِ وَاثْنَيْنِ.
Hazrat Abu Sa‘idra narrated, “A woman came to Allah’s Messengersa and said, ‘O Allah’s Messengersa, the men have taken all of your [time with] your words. So, set aside for us, from your own self, a day on which we may come to you and you can teach us from what Allah has taught you.’ He said, ‘Gather together on such-and-such a day, in such-and-such a place.’
“So they gathered and Allah’s Messengersa came to them and taught them from what Allah had taught him. Then he said, ‘There is no woman among you who sends ahead three of her children [i.e., they die before her] but that they will be for her a shield from the Fire.’
“One of the women asked, ‘O Allah’s Messengersa, [what if they are] two?’” Hazrat Abu Sa‘idra further said, “She repeated it twice and then [the Holy Prophetsa] said, ‘And [even] two and two and two.’”
