Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

Abu Ammar al-Husayn ibn Hurayth narrated to us: Muhammad ibn Yazid al-Wasiti narrated to us, from Isma'il ibn Muslim al-Makki, from Abu al-Zubayr, from Jabir, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: 'A child is not prayed over, does not inherit, and is not inherited from until it cries out.' Abu Isa said: People differed in transmitting this hadith. Some narrated it from Abu al-Zubayr, from Jabir, from the Prophet, as a report attributed to him. Ash'ath ibn Sawwar and more than one other narrator transmitted it from Abu al-Zubayr, from Jabir, as a statement ending with Jabir. Muhammad ibn Ishaq transmitted it from Ata ibn Abi Rabah, from Jabir, as a statement ending with Jabir. This latter version seems more sound than the report attributed to the Prophet. Some scholars adopted this view and said that a child is not prayed over until it cries out. This is the view of Sufyan al-Thawri and al-Shafi'i.
