(Second chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, who says: I used to say about the children of the polytheists that they would be with them. But later, a man narrated this hadith from a companion that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Their Lord knows best about them; He is the One who created them, He knows them, and He also knows the deeds they would have done.

A woman from Banu Sareem, Hasna bint Muawiyah, narrates from her uncle. He says: I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Who will enter Paradise?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Prophet will be in Paradise, the martyr will be in Paradise, and (a boy and a girl who die before reaching puberty) will also be in Paradise."

Mawla-e-Ghatib Abdullah bin Abi Qais came to Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and greeted her with salam. She asked: Who is it? He replied: I am Abdullah, the slave of Ghatif bin Azib. She said: The son of Afif? He said: Yes, O Umm al-Mu'mineen! Then he asked about the two rak'ahs after Asr, whether the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed these two rak'ahs. She said: Yes. Then he inquired about the ruling concerning the children of disbelievers. She said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said about them: They will be with their fathers in the Hereafter. I said: O Messenger of Allah! Will they be with their fathers (in a bad end) even without having done any deeds? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty knows best what deeds they would have done.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Every child is born upon this religion of Islam, until he begins to speak; then his parents make him a Jew, a Christian, or a polytheist. The Companions asked: O Messenger of Allah! What will be the fate of those children who die before reaching that age? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty knows best what deeds they would have done.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Every child is born upon the natural religion, that is, the religion of Islam. Later, his parents make him a Jew, a Christian, or a Magian. This is just like an animal giving birth to a complete offspring—do you see any among them with a cut ear? If you want confirmation of this, then recite this verse: {فِطْرَتَ اللّٰہِ الَّتِیْ فَطَرَالنَّاسَ عَلَیْھَا لَا تَبْدِیْلَ لِخَلْقِ اللّٰہِ } (Adopt the nature of Allah, that is, this religion upon which He has created people; no one has the right to alter the creation of Allah.)
