حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ
مَا مِنْ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ إِلَّا عَلَى الْمِلَّةِ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً: كُلُّ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ فَأَبَوَاهُ يُهَوِّدَانِهِ وَيُنَصِّرَانِهِ وَيُشَرِّكَانِهِ قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَرَأَيْتَ مَنْ مَاتَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ ؟ قَالَ: اللهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا كَانُوا عَامِلِينَ.

No babe is born but upon Fitra. It is his parents who make him a Jew or a Christian or a Polytheist. A person said: Messenger of Allah, what is your opinion if they were to die before that (before reaching the age of adolescence when they can distinguish between right and wrong)? He said: It is Allah alone Who knows what they would be doing. (Using translation from Muslim 2658e)
