Uthman al-Batti (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from Abdul Hameed bin Salamah Ansari (may Allah have mercy on him) that his grandfather accepted Islam during the time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If both of you (mother and father) wish, then give the child the choice." So the father was placed on one side and the mother on the other, then the child was given the choice, and he went towards his mother. Upon this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated: "O Allah! Guide him." So the child returned to his father.
