حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا السَّرِيُّ بْنُ يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَسْوَدُ بْنِ سَرِيعٍ وَكَانَ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي سَعْدٍ قَالَ وَكَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ قَصَّ فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ يَعْنِي الْمَسْجِدَ الْجَامِعَ قَالَ
غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَرْبَعَ غَزَوَاتٍ، قَالَ: فَتَنَاوَلَ قَوْمٌ الذُّرِّيَّةَ بَعْدَمَا قَتَلُوا الْمُقَاتِلَةَ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: أَلَا مَا بَالُ أَقْوَامٍ قَتَلُوا الْمُقَاتِلَةَ حَتَّى تَنَاوَلُوا الذُّرِّيَّةَ ؟ قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَوَلَيْسَ أَبْنَاءُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ ؟ قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " إِنَّ خِيَارَكُمْ أَبْنَاءُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ، إِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ نَسَمَةٌ تُولَدُ إِلَّا وُلِدَتْ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ، فَمَا تَزَالُ عَلَيْهَا حَتَّى يَبِينَ عَنْهَا لِسَانُهَا فَأَبَوَاهَا يُهَوِّدَانِهَا وَيُنَصِّرَانِهَا

✧ "And the first person to narrate in this mosque, meaning the Grand Mosque, said, 'I participated in four battles with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' He said, 'Some people took captives after killing the enemy, and this news reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said, 'What is wrong with certain people that they kill captives before taking them?' A man said, 'O Messenger of Allah, aren't they the children of the polytheists?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Indeed, the best among you are the children of the polytheists. Each child is born upon true nature (Fitrah), and then his parents make him a Jew or a Christian.' Hasan then concealed it."
