حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ قَالَ
كَتَبَ نَجْدَةُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ فَشَهِدْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ حِينَ قَرَأَ كِتَابَهُ وَحِينَ كَتَبَ جَوَابَهُ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ: إِنَّكَ سَأَلْتَنِي....وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ، قَالَ: وَسَأَلْتَ: هَلْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْتُلُ مِنْ صِبْيَانِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ أَحَدًا ؟ وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَقْتُلُ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا، وَأَنْتَ فَلَا تَقْتُلْ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا إِلَّا أَنْ تَكُونَ تَعْلَمُ مِنْهُمْ مَا عَلِمَ الْخَضِرُ مِنَ الْغُلَامِ حِينَ قَتَلَهُ

✧ Najdah b. Amir wrote to Ibn Abbas asking him about some matters. I witnessed Ibn Abbas when he read his letter and when he wrote his reply. He wrote back to him: “You asked me…” and he mentioned the hadith. He said: “And you asked whether the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to kill any of the children of the idolaters. The Messenger of Allah never killed any of them, so you should not kill any of them unless you know of them what al-Khidr knew about the boy when he killed him.”
