English translation
3040. It was narrated that Ziyād bin Ḥudair said: " 'Alī said: 'When I get the chance to deal with the Christians of Banū Taghlib, I shall kill the fighters and take their children captive, for I wrote down the covenant between them and the Prophet ﷺ to the effect that they would not make their children Christians.'" (Da'if) Abū Dāwūd said: This is a Munkar Ḥadīth. It was conveyed to me from Aḥmad that he regarded this Ḥadīth as severely Munkar. Abū 'Alī said: Abū Dāwūd did not recite it in the second reading.
