السؤال (بالعربية)

هل وصف النَّبيُّ ﷺ صغار المسلمين الَّذين ماتوا بأنَّهم دعاميص؟ اذكر الدَّليل؟

Official Transcript (English)

Yes, he described them as da'amis. In the hadith: 'Their little ones are the da'amis (swimmers/small ones) of Paradise. One of them will meet his parents and take hold of his [father's] garment—just as I am taking hold of the hem of your garment here—and he will not let go until Allah enters him and his father into Paradise.' (Muslim).

الجواب الكامل (باللغة العربية)

نعم، وصفهم بأنَّهم دعاميص، ففي الحديث: «صغارهم دعاميص الجنَّة يتلقَّى أحدهم أبويه فيأخذ بثوبه، كما آخذ أنا بصنفة ثوبك هذا، فلا ينتهي حتَّى يدخله الله وأباه الجنَّة». (مسلم).
