Hadith 13244

وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَتَى عَلَيَّ زَمَانٌ وَأَنَا أَقُولُ أَوْلَادُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مَعَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَأَوْلَادُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ مَعَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ حَتَّى حَدَّثَنِي فُلَانٌ عَنْ فُلَانٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُئِلَ عَنْهُمْ فَقَالَ ”اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا كَانُوا عَامِلِينَ“ قَالَ فَلَقِيتُ الرَّجُلَ فَأَخْبَرَنِي فَأَمْسَكْتُ عَنْ قَوْلِي
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: There was a time when I used to give the verdict that in the Hereafter, the children of Muslims will be with the Muslims and the children of polytheists will be with the polytheists, until such time that a certain man narrated to me from another man that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about their children, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty knows best what deeds they would have done." Then I went to the man who narrated this hadith, and he informed me of this hadith, so I abandoned my previous statement.
