English

Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, 'When the child of a servant dies, Allah says to His angels, "Have you taken the child of My servant?" They reply, "Yes." He asks, "Have you taken the fruit of his heart?" They reply, "Yes." He asks, "What did My servant say?" They reply, "He praised You and said, 'To Allah we belong, and to Him we shall return.'" Allah says, "Build a house for My servant in Paradise and call it the House of Praise."'"
