(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ”كُلُّ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ فَأَبَوَاهُ يُهَوِّدَانِهِ وَيُنَصِّرَانِهِ مِثْلَ الْأَنْعَامِ تُنْتَجُ صِحَاحًا فَتُكْوَى آذَانُهَا“
(Second chain) The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Every child is born upon the natural disposition, that is, the religion of Islam; later, his parents make him a Jew or a Christian. This is just like cattle are born whole and sound, then later their ears are branded.
