English Translation

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنهما) — via Sa'id ibn Jubayr — from the Prophet ﷺ that he was asked about the children of polytheists [who die before reaching adulthood]. He said: 'Allah — when He created them — knew best what they would have done [had they lived and reached accountability].'
