حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ، وَحَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الرَّقِّيُّ، قَالَا: ثنا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ السَّرِيِّ بْنِ يَحْيَى أَبِي الْهَيْثَمِ، وَكَانَ عَاقِلًا، ثنا الْحَسَنُ، عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ سَرِيعٍ، وَكَانَ رَجُلًا شَاعِرًا، وَكَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ قَصَّ فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ، قَالَ: أَفْضَى بَيْنَهُمُ الْقَتْلُ أَنْ قَتَلُوا الذُّرِّيَّةَ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «أَوَلَيْسَ خِيَارُكُمْ أَوْلَادَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ مَا مِنْ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ إِلَّا عَلَى فِطْرَةِ الْإِسْلَامِ، حَتَّى يُعْرِبَ فَأَبَوَاهُ يُهَوِّدَانِهِ، أَوْ يُنَصِّرَانِهِ، أَوْ يُمَجِّسَانِهِ»
Sayyiduna al-Aswad bin Sari' (may Allah be pleased with him), who was a poet and the first to preach and tell stories in this mosque, narrates: The killing in battle went so far that they killed even the children. This reached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Are not the best of you from the children of the polytheists? No child is born except upon the fitrah (natural disposition) of Islam, until he begins to speak clearly; then his parents make him a Jew, or a Christian, or a Magian."
