حَدَّثَنَا
وَكِيعٌ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي
طَلْحَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ عَمَّتِهِ
عَائِشَةَ بِنْتِ طَلْحَةَ ، عَنْ
عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، قَالَتْ : دُعِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى جَنَازَةِ غُلَامٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، طُوبَى لِهَذَا عُصْفُورٌ مِنْ عَصَافِيرِ الْجَنَّةِ ، لَمْ يُدْرِكْ الشَّرَّ وَلَمْ يَعْمَلْهُ ، قَالَ : " أَوَ غَيْرُ ذَلِكَ يَا عَائِشَةُ ، إِنَّ
اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ خَلَقَ لِلْجَنَّةِ أَهْلًا خَلَقَهَا لَهُمْ ، وَهُمْ فِي أَصْلَابِ آبَائِهِمْ ، وَخَلَقَ لِلنَّارِ أَهْلًا خَلَقَهَا لَهُمْ ، وَهُمْ فِي أَصْلَابِ آبَائِهِمْ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that (an Ansari child passed away). I said, "O Messenger of Allah! This minor child of the Ansar is surely one of the birds of Paradise." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Aisha! Do you have anything else to say besides this? When Allah Almighty created Paradise, He also created its inhabitants, and when He created Hell, He also created its inhabitants, and this happened at the time when they were still in the loins of their forefathers."
