English translation

2682. It was reported from Ibn 'Abbās who said: "When a woman was Miqlāh (her children did not survive), she would vow that if her child survives she will make him a Jew. When Banu An-Naḏīr were expelled (from Arabia) there were some children of the Anṣār among them. They said: 'We shall not leave our children.' So Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed: There is no compulsion in religion. Verily, the right path has become distinct from the wrong path."[1] (Saḥīḥ) Abū Dāwūd said: Al-Miqlāh means a woman whose children do not survive.

2682 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَشْعَثُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي السِّجِسْتَانِيَّ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ - وَهَذَا لَفْظُهُ - ح وحَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: " كَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ تَكُونُ مِقْلَاتًا فَتَجْعَلُ عَلَى نَفْسِهَا إِنْ عَاشَ لَهَا وَلَدٌ أَنْ تُهَوِّدَهُ، فَلَمَّا أُجْلِيَتْ بَنُو النَّضِيرِ كَانَ فِيهِمْ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالُوا: لَا نَدَعُ أَبْنَاءَنَا، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {لَا إِكْرَاهَ فِي الدِّينِ قَدْ تَبَيَّنَ الرُّشْدُ مِنَ الغَيِّ} [البقرة: 256] " قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: " الْمِقْلَاتُ: الَّتِي لَا يَعِيشُ لَهَا وَلَدٌ "
