4715. Ibn Wahb said: “I heard Mālik when it was said to him: ‘The people of desires use this Hadīth (i.e., no. 4715) against us.’ Mālik said: ‘Quote the last part of it to them: “They said: ‘O Messenger of Allāh, what do you think if he dies when he is small?’ He said: ‘Allāh knows best what they would have done.’” (Sahih)

Arabic text

4715 - قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: قُرِئَ عَلَى الْحَارِثِ بْنِ مِسْكِينٍ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ، أَخْبَرَكَ يُوسُفُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مَالِكًا، قِيلَ لَهُ: إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْأَهْوَاءِ يَحْتَجُّونَ عَلَيْنَا بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ، قَالَ مَالِكٌ: احْتَجَّ عَلَيْهِمْ بِآخِرِهِ، قَالُوا: أَرَأَيْتَ مَنْ يَمُوتُ وَهُوَ صَغِيرٌ، قَالَ: «اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا كَانُوا عَامِلِينَ»
