Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

A miscarried foetus will intercede on behalf of his/her parents on the day of Qiyamah and in fact take them into jannat.

Rasulullah(sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) has mentioned:

“Verily a miscarried foetus will persist in interceding on behalf of its parents that are in the fire until it would be said: O the miscarried foetus that is persisting to its Rabb, wake up for verily I have entered your parents into jannat. The foetus will pull the parents with its umbilical cord until they enter jannat” (Ibn Majah, Kitaab Al-Janaaiz, vol 1, pg 513, Ihyaa Al-Kutub al-Arabiyya)

“Verily the miscarried foetus will pull its mother with its umbilical cord into jannat (Ibid)

“Verily the miscarried foetus will see a person anxiously waiting at the door of jannat. It will be told to the foetus: ‘Enter jannat’! (It will reply: I will not enter) until my parents enter jannat”. (Majma’ Al-Zawaaid, Kitaab Al-Janaaiz, vol 3, pg 10, Al-Qudsi)

And Allah knows best

قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : " إن السقط ليراغم ربه إذا دخل أبواه النار حتى يقال أيها السقط المراغم ربه إرفع فإني أدخلت أبويك الجنة (قال) فيجرهما بسرره حتى يدخلهما الجنة ".

ان السقط ليجر أمه بسرره إلى الجنة

وإن السقط ليرى محبنطئا بباب الجنة يقال له: ادخل يقول: حتى يدخل أبواي".
