Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 1984 — he said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent out
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْقَطِرَانِيُّ ، قَالَ : نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ حِسَابٍ قَالَ : نَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنِ الْمُعَلَّى بْنِ زِيَادٍ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ سَرِيعٍ ، قَالَ : بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- سَرِيَّةً ، فَلَقُوا الْعَدُوَّ ، فَتَتَابَعُوا فِي الْقَتْلِ حَتَّى أَفْضَوْا إِلَى الْوِلْدَانِ ، فَلَمَّا رَجَعَتِ السَّرِيَّةُ نَمَى ذَلِكَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- ، فَقَالَ : أَلَمْ أَنْهَكُمْ ؟ فَقَالُوا : إِنَّمَا هُمْ أَوْلَادُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ . فَقَالَ : I " أَوَلَيْسَ خِيَارُكُمْ أَوْلَادَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ ؟ I " ثُمَّ أَمَرَ مُنَادِيًا يُنَادِي : I " أَلَا إِنَّ كُلَّ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ . لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنِ الْمُعَلَّى بْنِ زِيَادٍ إِلَّا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ ابْنُ حِسَابٍ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Aswad bin Sari' (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent out a military detachment. They met the enemy and kept on killing until they reached the children (that is, killed them too). When the detachment returned, this reached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Did I not forbid you (from killing children)?" They said: "They were only the children of the polytheists." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Are not the best of you the children of the polytheists?" Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered a caller, who called out announcing: "Behold! Indeed every child is born upon the fitrah (natural disposition)."
