267 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ: ثنا طَلْحَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَي عَنْ عَمَّتِهِ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتِ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ خَالَتِهَا عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَتْ: أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِصَبِيٍّ مِنْ صِبْيَانِ الْأَنْصَارِ لِيُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ: طُوبَي لَهُ عُصْفُورٌ مِنْ عَصَافِيرِ الْجَنَّةِ لَمْ يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا قَطُّ، وَلَمْ يُدْرِكْهُ ذَنْبٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَوْ غَيْرُ ذَلِكَ يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ خَلَقَ الْجَنَّةَ وَخَلَقَ لَهَا أَهْلًا وَخَلَقَهُمْ وَهُمْ فِي أَصْلَابِ آبَائِهِمْ، وَخَلَقَ النَّارَ وَخَلَقَ لَهَا أَهْلًا وَخَلَقَهُمْ وَهُمْ فِي أَصْلَابِ آبَائِهِمْ»
Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: An Ansari child was brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) so that he (peace be upon him) could perform his funeral prayer. I said: How fortunate he is, he is a bird of Paradise, who has never done any bad deed and sin has never reached him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Aisha! It could be otherwise as well. Indeed, Allah Almighty created Paradise and created its inhabitants; He created them while they were still in the loins of their forefathers. And He created Hell and created its inhabitants; He created them while they were still in the loins of their forefathers.”
