338- وبه: أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: ”كل مولود يولد على الفطرة، فأبواه يهودانه وينصرانه كما تناتج الإبل من بهمية جمعاء، هل تحس من جدعاء؟“ فقالوا: يا رسول الله، أفرأيت من يموت وهو صغير؟، قال: ”الله أعلم بما كانوا عاملين“ .
And with this same chain (it is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Every child is born upon the natural disposition (Islam), then his parents make him a Jew or a Christian (or otherwise), just as camels give birth to offspring that are whole—do you see any among them that are mutilated in ear or nose?" So the people said: O Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him! What if a child dies in childhood? He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Allah knows what they would have done."
