[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent out a military expedition, and they encountered the enemy and engaged in fighting until they reached the children. When the expedition returned, they informed the Prophet ﷺ about what happened. He asked them, "Didn't they tire you?" They replied, "They were the children of the polytheists." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Are not the best among you those who are born to polytheists?" Then he called for a crier and announced, "Indeed, every newborn is born on the fitrah (natural inclination towards monotheism)."
بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَرِيَّةً فَلَقُوا فَتَتَابَعُوا فِي الْقَتْلِ حَتَّى أَفْضَوْا إِلَى الْوِلْدَانِ فَلَمَّا رَجَعَتِ السَّرِيَّةُ رَقَى ذَلِكَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَلَمْ أَنْهَكُمْ؟» فَقَالُوا إِنَّمَا هُمْ أَوْلَادُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَقَالَ «أَوَلَيْسَ خِيَارُكُمْ أَوْلَادَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ» ثُمَّ أَمَرَ مُنَادِيًا فَنَادَى «أَلَا إِنَّ كُلَّ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ»
