حَدِيثُ رَجُلٍ، ٢٠٦٩٧ - حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَمَّارٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: أَتَى عَلَيَّ زَمَانٌ وَأَنَا أَقُولُ: أَوْلَادُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مَعَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، وَأَوْلَادُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ مَعَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ، حَتَّى حَدَّثَنِي فُلَانٌ، عَنْ فُلَانٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، سُئِلَ عَنْهُمْ، فَقَالَ: " اللهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا كَانُوا عَامِلِينَ "، قَالَ: فَلَقِيتُ الرَّجُلَ فَأَخْبَرَنِي، فَأَمْسَكْتُ عَنْ قَوْلِي (١)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that at one time I held the opinion that the children of Muslims would be with the Muslims and the children of the polytheists would be with the polytheists, until a certain man narrated to me from another that the Prophet (ﷺ) was asked about the children of the polytheists, so the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Allah knows best what deeds they would have done." Then I met another man and he also told me the same thing, so I withdrew from my opinion.
