Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ جَابِرٌ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «الطِّفْلُ لَا يُصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ وَلَا يَرِثُ وَلَا يُوَرَّثُ حَتَّى يَسْتَهِلَّ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَابْنُ مَاجَهْ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ: «وَلَا يُورث»

Translation

Jabir reported that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, ‘A child is not prayed over, does not inherit, and is not inherited from until the child cries aloud.’ Al-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah transmitted it, except that Ibn Majah did not mention ‘nor is inherited from.’
