حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ مَا مِنْ مَوْلُودٍ إِلاَّ يُلِدَ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ فَأَبَوَاهُ يُهَوِّدَانِهِ وَيُنَصِّرَانِهِ وَيُشَرِّكَانِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ مَاتَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ ‏"‏ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا كَانُوا عَامِلِينَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:No babe is born but upon Fitra. It is his parents who make him a Jew or a Christian or a Polytheist. A person said: Allah's Messenger, what is your opinion if they were to die before that (before reaching the age of adolescence when they can distinguish between right and wrong)? He said: It is Allah alone Who knows what they would be doing

Rapporté par Abu Huraira : Le Messager d’Allah ﷺ a dit : « Aucun bébé ne naît sans être sur la Fitra. Ce sont ses parents qui font de lui un Juif, un Chrétien ou un polythéiste. » Quelqu’un a demandé : « Ô Messager d’Allah, que penses-tu s’ils meurent avant cela (avant d’atteindre l’âge où ils peuvent distinguer le bien du mal) ? » Il a répondu : « C’est Allah seul qui sait ce qu’ils auraient fait. »
