ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الْمُصَرِّحَ: بِأَنَّ قَوْلَهُ ﷺ «اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا كَانُوا عَامِلِينَ» كَانَ بَعْدَ قَوْلِهِ «كُلُّ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ»
Every child is born on Islam, but his parents make him a Jew and a Christian, just as a beast is born whole. Do you find some among them (born) maimed? The people asked : Messenger of Allah! What do you think about the one who died while he was young? He replied : Allah knows best what he was going to do. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4714)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «كُلُّ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ فَأَبَوَاهُ يُهَوِّدَانِهِ وَيُنَصِّرَانِهِ كَمَا تُنَاتَجُ الْإِبِلُ مِنْ بَهِيمَةٍ جَمْعَاءَ هَلْ تُحِسُّ مِنْ جَدْعَاءَ»؟ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَرَأَيْتَ مَنْ يَمُوتَ وَهُوَ صَغِيرٌ قَالَ «اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا كَانُوا عَامِلِينَ»
