Ahadith

Abu Sa‘id Khudri relates that a woman came to the Holy Prophet and said: Messenger of Allah, the men relate that which they hear from you, then appoint for us also a day when we could come to you to learn from you that which Allah has taught you. He said: Get together on such and such a day. They gathered together and the Holy Prophet taught them out of that, which Allah had taught him and then said: Any of you who loses three | children will be shielded by them from the Fire. One of the women asked: And should there be two. He answered: Even if there should be two (Bokhari and Muslim).

Ibn Umar relates that when the Holy Prophet reached Hijr, the land of Thamud, he admonished his companions: Do not pass by these tormented ones, except with running eyes, and should you be dry-eyed do not pass near them, lest that should afflict you which afflicted them (Bokhari and Muslim). Another version is: When the Holy Prophet passed by Hijr, he admonished his companions: Do not enter the dwelling-places of thosé who had wronged themselves except with running eyes lest that should afflict you which afflicted them. Then he covered up his head and hastened the pace of his mount till he had emerged from the valley. -"
