Suwayd ibn Nasr narrated to us: Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak narrated to us, from Hammad ibn Salamah, from Abu Sinan, who said: I buried my son Sinan, while Abu Talhah al-Khawlani was sitting at the edge of the grave. When I was about to leave, he took my hand and said, 'Shall I give you glad tidings, Abu Sinan?' I said, 'Yes.' He said: al-Dahhak ibn Abd al-Rahman ibn Arzab narrated to me, from Abu Musa al-Ash'ari, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'When a servant's child dies, Allah says to His angels, Have you taken the child of My servant? They say, Yes. He says, Have you taken the fruit of his heart? They say, Yes. He asks, What did My servant say? They say, He praised You and uttered the formula of returning to You. Then Allah says, Build a house for My servant in Paradise and name it the House of Praise.' Abu Isa said: This is a hasan gharīb hadith.
