"لا تَقْتُلوا أَوْلادَكُمْ سِرًّا، فوالَّذى نَفْسِى بيدهِ إن الغيل لَيُدْرِك الفارس فَيُدَعْثِرُه عن فَرَسِه".

Collected by Abū Dāwūd, Ibn Mājah, Aḥmad, Ibn Ḥibbān, Ṭabarānī, BayhaqīI 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.
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لاَ تَقْتُلُوا أَوْلاَدَكُمْ سِرًّا فَإِنَّ الْغَيْلَ يُدْرِكُ الْفَارِسَ فَيُدَعْثِرُهُ عَنْ فَرَسِهِ
