Chapter 42 · Model Behavior of the Prophet (Kitab Al-Sunnah)قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد: قُرِئ عَلَى الْحَارِثِ بْنِ مِسْكِينٍ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ، أَخْبَرَكَ يُوسُفُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مَالِكًا قِيلَ لَهُ: إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْأَهْوَاءِ يَحْتَجُّونَ عَلَيْنَا بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ، قَالَ مَالِكٌ احْتَجَّ عَلَيْهِمْ بِآخِرِهِ، قَالُوا: أَرَأَيْتَ مَنْ يَمُوتُ وَهُوَ صَغِيرٌ ؟ قَالَ: اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا كَانُوا عَامِلِينَ .

I heard Malik when it was said: The heretics argue from this tradition against us. Malik said: Argue against them from its last part which goes. The people asked: What do you think about the one who died while he was young? He replied: Allah knows best what he was going to do.
