Hadith.4731 - Abu Zakariya narrated from Abu Basir who said that Abu Abdullah (as) said: "When a child from the children of the believers dies, a caller announces in the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, 'Indeed, so-and-so, the son of so-and-so, has passed away.' If his parents, one of them, or a family member from the believers had already passed away, the child is entrusted to them to nurture him. If none of them had passed away, the child is entrusted to Sayyidah Fatimah {s.a} to nurture and care for them until their parents, one of them, or a family member arrives, and then she hands the child over to them."

They nourish them from a tree in Paradise that has teats like those of cows, inside a palace made of pearl. On the Day of Judgment, these children will be dressed, perfumed, and presented to their parents. They will be kings in Paradise along with their parents. This is in accordance with the saying of Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic: 'And those who believe and whose descendants follow them in faith - We will join them with their descendants'" (Surah At-Tur 52:21).
