I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Do not kill your children secretly, for the milk, with which a child is suckled while his mother is pregnant, overtakes the horseman and throws him from his horse. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3881)  

ابن حبّان:٥٩٨٤أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ دُكَيْنٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي غَنِيَّةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُهَاجِرِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ السَّكَنِ قَالَتْ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا تَقْتُلُوا أَوْلَادَكُمْ سِرًّا فَإِنَّ قَتْلَ الْغَيْلِ يُدْرِكُ الْفَارِسَ فَيُدَعْثِرُهُ عَنْ فَرَسِهِ»
