Is what was reported about Dr. Omar Abdel Kafi true concerning the Almighty Lord's saying, "What is this clamor I hear?" in response to the voices of children who died young and their intercession for their parents to enter Paradise?

The story mentioned is not explicitly narrated, but its meaning is sound, which is that the children of a Muslim intercede for him so that Allah may admit him into Paradise. This is based on the stating that the young children of Muslims are the "butterflies" (or "little worms") of Paradise; one of them will meet his father and not leave him until Allah admits him into Paradise. Similarly, whoever loses three children who have not reached the age of discernment will be admitted by Allah into Paradise, due to His mercy towards them.
