حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ قَالَ
كَتَبَ نَجْدَةُ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ قَتْلِ الْوِلْدَانِ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ: كَتَبْتَ تَسْأَلُنِي عَنْ قَتْلِ الْوِلْدَانِ، وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَقْتُلُهُمْ، وَأَنْتَ فَلَا تَقْتُلْهُمْ إِلَّا أَنْ تَعْلَمَ مِنْهُمْ مِثْلَ مَا عَلِمَ صَاحِبُ مُوسَى مِنَ الْغُلَامِ.

✧ Najdah wrote to Ibn Abbas asking him about killing children, so he wrote to him: 'You wrote asking me about killing children, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not kill them. So you, do not kill them unless you know of them what the companion of Musa knew of the boy.'
