English translation
[4685] 138 - (...) It was narrated from Yazîd bin Hurmuz that Najdah wrote to Ibn 'Abbâs and asked him about some things... a Hadîth like that of Sulaimân bin Bilâl (no. 4684), except that in the Hadîth of Hâtim it says: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ did not kill children, so do not kill children, unless you know what Al-Khiḍr knew about the boy whom he killed."[1] Ishâq added in his Hadîth from Hâtim: "... and you can tell who is a believer, in which case kill the disbelievers and leave the believers."
