English translation

2012. It was narrated from Muhājir bin Abu Muslim, from Asmā' bint Yazid bin Sakan, who was his freed slave woman, that she heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: "Do not kill your children secretly, for by the One in Whose Hand is my soul, intercourse with a breastfeeding woman catches up with people when they are riding their horses (in battle) and wrestles them to the ground." (Da'if)

Arabic text

2012 - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمْزَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُهَاجِرٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَاهُ الْمُهَاجِرَ بْنَ أَبِي مُسْلِمٍ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ السَّكَنِ، وَكَانَتْ مَوْلَاتَهُ، أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «لَا تَقْتُلُوا أَوْلَادَكُمْ سِرًّا، فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، إِنَّ الْغَيْلَ لَيُدْرِكُ الْفَارِسَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ فَرَسِهِ حَتَّى يَصْرَعَهُ»

Commentary

'Wrestles them to the ground' means the affect of weakness caused by intercourse with a breastfeeding woman remains affective for the whole life, even if such a child becomes a good horse rider after having grown up, he will not yet be able to compete with a child without such history. However this Hadith is Weak; therefore such concern is not necessary.
