أَخْبَرَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ الْجُمَحِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا السَّرِيُّ بْنُ يَحْيَى أَبُو الْهَيْثَمِ وَكَانَ عَاقِلًا حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ سَرِيعٍ وَكَانَ شَاعِرًا وَكَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ قَصَّ فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ قَالَ
أَفْضَى بِهِمُ الْقَتْلُ إِلَى أَنْ قَتَلُوا الذُّرِّيَّةَ فَبَلَغَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَوَلَيْسَ خِيَارُكُمْ أَوْلَادَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ مَا مِنْ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ إِلَّا عَلَى فِطْرَةِ الْإِسْلَامِ حَتَّى يُعْرِبَ فَأَبَوَاهُ يُهَوِّدَانِهِ وَيُنَصِّرَانِهِ وَيُمَجِّسَانِهِ»
