وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا ⦗٣٣٥⦘ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، ثنا الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ الْمِنْهَالِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ حَمَّادَ بْنَ سَلَمَةَ يُفَسِّرُ حَدِيثَ: " كُلُّ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ " قَالَ: هَذَا عِنْدَنَا حَيْثُ أَخَذَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَيْهِمُ الْعَهْدَ فِي أَصْلَابِ آبَائِهِمْ حَيْثُ قَالَ {أَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ قَالُوا بَلَى} [الأعراف: ١٧٢].
Hajjaj bin Minhal (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I heard Hammad bin Salamah (may Allah have mercy on him) explaining the hadith "Every child is born upon the fitrah (natural disposition)." He said: In our view this refers to when Allah Almighty took the covenant from them in the loins of their fathers, when Allah Almighty said: "Am I not your Lord? They said: Yes" [Surah al-A'raf: 172].
