Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: "A man said to him, 'My son died, and I am deeply saddened. Have you heard anything from your beloved (the Prophet (ﷺ)) that could comfort us regarding our deceased?' He replied, 'Yes, I heard him say, "The young children of the believers are the butterflies of Paradise. One of them will meet his father and take hold of his garment, and he will not let go until he admits him to Paradise."'"
