[6760] 24 - (...) It was narrated that Hammâm bin Munabbih said: "This is what Abû Hurairah narrated to us from the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ," and he mentioned a number of Ahâdîth, including the following: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Everyone who is born, is born in this state of Fitrah, then his parents make him a Jew or a Christian. Just as camels are bred - do you see any deformed one among them? Until you are the one who cuts (their ears, noses, tails etc.)' They said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, what do you think of one who dies in childhood?' He said: 'Allâh knows best what they would have done.'"

Arabic text

24 - (2658) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ، قَالَ: هَذَا مَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَذَكَرَ أَحَادِيثَ مِنْهَا - وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ يُولَدُ يُولَدُ عَلَى هَذِهِ الْفِطْرَةِ، فَأَبَوَاهُ يُهَوِّدَانِهِ وَيُنَصِّرَانِهِ، كَمَا تَنْتِجُونَ الْإِبِلَ، فَهَلْ تَجِدُونَ فِيهَا جَدْعَاءَ، حَتَّى تَكُونُوا أَنْتُمْ تَجْدَعُونَهَا» قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَفَرَأَيْتَ مَنْ يَمُوتُ صَغِيرًا؟ قَالَ: «اللهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا كَانُوا عَامِلِينَ»
