حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَا مِنْ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ إِلَّا عَلَى الْمِلَّةِ، - وَقَالَ مَرَّةً: " كُلُّ مَوْلُودٍ (٣) يُولَدُ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ " - فَأَبَوَاهُ، ، يُهَوِّدَانِهِ، وَيُنَصِّرَانِهِ، وَيُشْرِكَانِهِ "، قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَرَأَيْتَ مَنْ مَاتَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ: " اللهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا كَانُوا عَامِلِينَ " (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Every child is born upon pure nature, then his parents make him a Jew, Christian, or polytheist. Someone asked, O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), tell us what is the ruling about those children who die in infancy? The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Allah knows best what they would have done when they grew up.
