حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ مُوسَى ثنا يَعْلَى بْنُ عَبَّادِ بْنِ يَعْلَى حَدَّثَنَا مُبَارَكُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ سَرِيعٍ
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بَعَثَ سَرِيَّةً فَبَلَغَ مِنْ قَتْلِهِمْ أَنْ قَتَلُوا الذُّرِّيَّةَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «مَا بَالُ أَقْوَامٍ بَلَغَ مِنْ قَتْلِهِمْ أَنْ قَتَلُوا الذُّرِّيَّةَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ» فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَذَكَرَ كَلِمَةً بَعْدَهَا فَقَالَ «أَوَلَيْسَ خِيَارُكُمْ أَوْلَادَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا مَوْلُودٌ يُولَدُ إِلَّا عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ حَتَّى يَكُونَ أَبَوَاهُ يُهَوِّدَانِهِ وَيُنَصِّرَانِهِ»

✧ The Prophet ﷺ sent a military expedition and it was reported to him that they killed the children of the polytheists. When the Prophet ﷺ received this news, he said, "What is the matter with people who reach the point of killing the children of the polytheists?" They said, "O Messenger of Allah! And he mentioned a statement after that." He ﷺ said, "Isn't it your best among you the children of the polytheists? By the One in Whose Hand my soul is, no newborn is born but upon the natural disposition until his parents make him Jewish or Christian."
