[Machine] A time came upon me while I was saying, "The children of Muslims should be with Muslims, and the children of polytheists should be with polytheists." Until someone told me that someone else narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about them, and he replied, "Allah knows best about what they were doing." So, I met the man and he informed me, and I refrained from speaking further.
أَتَى عَلَيَّ زَمَانٌ وَأَنَا أَقُولُ أَوْلَادُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مَعَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَأَوْلَادُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ مَعَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ حَتَّى حَدَّثَنِي فُلَانٌ عَنْ فُلَانٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ سُئِلَ عَنْهُمْ فَقَالَ اللهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا كَانُوا عَامِلِينَ قَالَ فَلَقِيتُ الرَّجُلَ فَأَخْبَرَنِي فَأَمْسَكْتُ عَنْ قَوْلِي
