A man approached Abu Hurairah and told him that he has just lost his two sons. The man further asked Abu Hurairah to tell him a hadith or something regarding his case so that his sadness may decrease. Abu Hurairah said:

“I heard the Prophet peace be upon him saying that the children are theda`amees (small fish) of Paradise. Each of them will meet his father or his parents and take him by his cloth- or by his hand- and never stop until Allah permits both of them into Paradise” (Sahih Muslim)

The most accurate opinion goes that the destiny of the children of non-Muslims is also Paradise.

This is proven also by the hadith of the Prophet when he saw in a dream a garden wherein there is a man surrounded by many children, the man was Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) and children are all children who die before the age of puberty.

Commenting on this, the Companions inquired, “Including the children of polytheists?” and the Prophet (peace be upon him) replied, “Yes, including the children of polytheists.” (Sahih Bukhari)
