أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ أَوْلاَدِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَقَالَ " اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا كَانُوا عَامِلِينَ " .
Translation
Ishaq narrated to us, saying: Sufyan informed us, from al-Zuhri, from ‘Ata’ ibn Yazid al-Laythi, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was asked about the children of the polytheists. He replied: ‘Allah knows best what they would have done.’
