[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was in one of his battles, and a man said to him, "O Messenger of Allah, what do you say about the polytheists?" So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained silent and did not respond to him until he finished his battle and circled around. Suddenly, a child fell from a camel's saddle and the man called out, "Where is the one who asked about the polytheists?" So the man approached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he prohibited the killing of their children and said, "Allah knows best what they were doing."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي بَعْضِ مَغَازِيهِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا تَقُولُ فِي اللاهينَ؟ فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ كَلِمَةً حَتَّى فَرَغَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ غَزْوِهِ وَطَافَ فَإِذَا بِصَبِيٍّ قَدْ وَقَعَ مِنْ مِحَفَّةٍ فَإِذَا هُوَ فَنَادَى مُنَادِيهِ أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ عَنِ اللاهينَ؟ فَأَقْبَلَ الرَّجُلُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَنَهَى عَنْ قَتْلِ أَطْفَالِهِمْ وَقَالَ «اللهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا كَانُوا عَامِلِينَ»
