وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ:
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي بَعْضِ مَغَازِيهِ، فَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا تَقُولُ فِي اللَّاهِينَ ؟ فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُ، وَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ كَلِمَةً، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ غَزْوِهِ وَظَهَرَ عَلَيْهِمْ، إِذَا هُوَ بِصَبِيٍّ قَدْ وَقَعَ مِنْ مِنَصٍّ لَهُ، فَإِذَا هُوَ يَبْحَثُ فِي الْأَرْضِ، فَنَادَى مُنَادٍ: أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ ؟ فَأَقْبَلَ الرَّجُلُ حَتَّى أَتَى النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ سَلِمَ -، فَنَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، عَنْ قَتْلِ الْأَطْفَالِ، ثُمَّ، قَالَ: اللهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا كَانُوا عَامِلِينَ

Chain of narrators
- Ibn ʿAbbās
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was on one of his military expeditions, and a man asked him: “O Messenger of Allah, what do you say about those who play?” He remained silent and did not reply a word. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished his expedition and gained victory over them, he saw a boy who had fallen from a lookout post of his, and the boy was digging in the ground. A caller announced: “Where is the questioner?” The man came to the Prophet ﷺ, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited killing children. Then he said: “Allah knows best what they would have done.”
