أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الطَّائِيُّ بِمَنْبَحَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ

«كُلُّ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ فَأَبَوَاهُ يُهَوِّدَانِهِ وَيُنَصِّرَانِهِ كَمَا تُنَاتَجُ الْإِبِلُ مِنْ بَهِيمَةٍ جَمْعَاءَ هَلْ تُحِسُّ مِنْ جَدْعَاءَ»؟ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَرَأَيْتَ مَنْ يَمُوتَ وَهُوَ صَغِيرٌ قَالَ «اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا كَانُوا عَامِلِينَ»

Every child is born on Islam, but his parents make him a Jew and a Christian, just as a beast is born whole. Do you find some among them (born) maimed? The people asked: Messenger of Allah! What do you think about the one who died while he was young? He replied: Allah knows best what he was going to do. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4714)
