أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْبُخَارِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ سُهِيَلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيرَةَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى الِلَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " كُلُّ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ عَلَى الْفطْرَةِ ، فَأَبَوَاهُ يُهَوِّدَانِهِ ، أَوْ يُنَصِّرَانِهِ ، أَوْ يُمَجِّسَانِهِ " قَالَ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ : قَوْلُهُ صَلَّى الِلَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " كُلُّ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ عَلَى الْفطْرَةِ " أَرَادَ بِهِ : عَلَى الْفطْرَةِ الَّتِي فَطَرَهُ الِلَّهِ عَلَيْهَا جَلَّ وَعَلا يَوْمَ أَخْرَجَهُمْ مِنْ صُلْبِ آدَمَ ، لِقَوْلِهِ جَلَّ وَعَلا : فِطْرَةَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي فَطَرَ النَّاسَ عَلَيْهَا لا تَبْدِيلَ لِخَلْقِ اللَّهِ سورة الروم آية 30 ، يَقُولُ : لا تَبْدِيلَ لِتِلْكَ الْخِلْقَةِ الَّتِي خَلَقَهُمْ لَهَا ، إِمَّا لِجَنَّةٍ ، وَإِمَّا لِنَارٍ ، حَيْثُ أَخْرَجَهُمْ مِنْ صُلْبِ آدَمَ ، فَقَالَ : هَؤُلاءِ لِلْجَنَّةِ ، وَهَؤُلاءِ لِلنَّارِ ، أَلا تَرَى أَنَّ غُلامَ الْخَضِرِ قَالَ صَلَّى الِلَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " طَبَعَهُ الِلَّهِ يَوْمَ طَبَعَهُ كَافِرًا " وَهُوَ بَيْنَ أَبَوَيْنِ مُؤْمِنَيْنِ ، فَأَعْلَمَ الِلَّهِ ذَلِكَ عَبْدَهُ الْخَضِرَ وَلَمْ يُعْلِمْ ذَلِكَ كَلِيمَهُ مُوسَى صَلَّى الِلَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، عَلَى مَا ذَكَرْنَا فِي غَيْرِ مَوْضِعٍ مِنْ كُتُبِنَا .
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Every child is born upon the natural disposition (fitrah), but his parents make him a Jew, a Christian, or a Magian."
(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The statement of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him): "Every child is born upon the natural disposition (fitrah)" means: He is born upon that disposition which Allah the Exalted had ordained on the day when He brought forth the people from the loins of Sayyiduna Adam. The evidence for this is the statement of Allah the Exalted: "The disposition of Allah upon which He has created mankind, so there is no change in the creation of Allah." He says: There is no change in this creation for which He has created these people, whether it is for Paradise or for Hell, at the time when He brought them out from the loins of Sayyiduna Adam (peace be upon him), and He said: These people are for Paradise and these people are for Hell. Have you not considered: Regarding the boy whom Sayyiduna Khidr (peace be upon him) killed, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah created him naturally as a disbeliever." Even though he was between believing parents, Allah the Exalted gave His servant Sayyiduna Khidr (peace be upon him) knowledge about this, even though He did not give His interlocutor Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) knowledge about it. As we have explained in other places in our books.
