[Machine] The companions of the Prophet ﷺ were eager to kill until they even reached the killing of infants. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Every newborn is born on the natural instinct until their parents make them Jewish or Christian."  

الطبراني:٨٣٥حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ الْجُمَحِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ الْجُمَحِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ عَنْ عَنْبَسَةَ الْغَنَوِيِّ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ سَرِيعٍ

أَنَّ أَصْحَابَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَسْرَعُوا فِي الْقَتْلِ حَتَّى بَلَغَ بِهِمْ قَتْلُ الْوِلْدَانِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «كُلُّ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ حَتَّى يَكُونَ أَبَوَاهُ يُهَوِّدَانِهِ وَيُنَصِّرَانِهِ»

[Machine] About Aswad ibn Sari'a, they fought alongside the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and encountered the enemy, killing them until they reached the women and children. They asked the Prophet ﷺ who said, "Every child is born on Al-Fitrah (the natural inclination towards monotheism), and it is his parents who convert him to Judaism or Christianity."  

الطبراني:٨٣١حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْبَزَّارُ حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ الْجُذُوعِيُّ ثنا الْأَزْرَقُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ثنا حَسَّانُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ثنا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ حَدَّثَنِي عُمَارَةُ بْنُ أَبِي حَفْصَةَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ

عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ سَرِيعٍ أَنَّهُمْ غَزَوْا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَقُوا الْعَدُوَّ فَقَتَلُوا حَتَّى أَفْضَوْا إِلَى الذُّرِّيَّةِ فَسَأَلُوا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «كُلُّ مَوْلُودٍ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ حَتَّى يَكُونَ أَبَوَاهُ يُهَوِّدَانِهِ وَيُنَصِّرَانِهِ»
