Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الأَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ قَيْسٍ، - هُوَ ابْنُ سَعْدٍ - عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم سُئِلَ عَنْ أَوْلاَدِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا كَانُوا عَامِلِينَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Mubarak narrated to us, saying: al-Aswad ibn ‘Amir narrated to us, saying: Hammad narrated to us, from Qays—namely Ibn Sa‘d—from Tawus, from Abu Hurayrah, that the Prophet (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.’

Translation notes

  • The source explicitly identifies Qays as Ibn Sa‘d.
