What is the authenticity of the hadith: "No one dies in infancy or old age, rather people in between that, except that they will be resurrected at thirty-three years of age. If one is among the people of Paradise, they will be in the likeness of Adam, the beauty of Yusuf, and the heart of Ayyub. And whoever is among the people of Hellfire, they will be magnified and made massive like mountains"? And will one be resurrected at thirty-three years of age? And what is the reward for an infant who dies? And is the hadith authentic: "For me to send forth an infant (who dies) is more beloved to me than to leave behind a hundred horsemen, all of whom fight in the way of Allah"?
The first Hadith: Al-Albani graded it as 'Hasan' (good) in Sahih al-Targhib.
The reward for a miscarriage: Refer to Fatwa no. 50984.
The age at which a miscarried fetus will be resurrected: It will be resurrected at the age of thirty-three.
The second Hadith: Al-Iraqi did not find mention of "a hundred horsemen" in it, and the wording "A miscarried child whom I send forth ahead of me is dearer to me than a horseman whom I leave behind" was narrated by Ibn Majah, and Al-Albani graded it as 'Da'if' (weak).
