It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that (when an Ansari child passed away) I said, "O Messenger of Allah! This minor child of the Ansar is one of the birds of Paradise." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Aisha! Do you have anything else to say besides this? When Allah Almighty created Paradise, He also created its inhabitants, and when He created Hell, He also created its inhabitants, and this happened at the time when they were still in the loins of their forefathers."
