Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 11945

وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فِي بَعْضِ مَغَازِيهِ ، فَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، مَا تَقُولُ فِي اللَّاهِينَ ؟ قَالَ : فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ كَلِمَةً ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مِنْ غَزْوِهِ وَطَافَ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِغُلَامٍ قَدْ وَقَعَ وَهُوَ يَعْبَثُ بِالْأَرْضِ ، فَنَادَى مُنَادِيهِ : " أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ عَنِ اللَّاهِينَ ؟ " ، فَأَقْبَلَ الرَّجُلُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَنَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَنْ قَتْلِ الْأَطْفَالِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا كَانُوا عَامِلِينَ هَذَا مِنَ اللَّاهِينَ " .
رَوَاهُ الْبَزَّارُ ، وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ وَالْأَوْسَطِ ، وَفِيهِ هِلَالُ بْنُ خَبَّابٍ وَهُوَ ثِقَةٌ وَفِيهِ خِلَافٌ ، وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was taking part in a battle. A man asked him: "O Messenger of Allah, what do you say about those who are absorbed in play (that is, those who die in childhood)?" The narrator says: He remained silent and gave him no answer. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had finished that battle, he saw while going around that a child had fallen and was lying smeared (in dust and blood) on the ground. He called out to his herald and said: "Where is the man who asked about the children?" The man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the killing of children, and then said: "Allah Almighty knows best what they would have done, and this child is also among them."
Al-Bazzar recorded it, and al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains Hilal bin Khabbab, who is thiqah (trustworthy), though there is disagreement about him, and the remaining narrators of this report are the narrators of the Sahih.
