Chapter 1 · The Book of the Sunnahحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا طَلْحَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عَمَّتِهِ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتِ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، قَالَتْ: دُعِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى جِنَازَةِ غُلَامٍ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، طُوبَى لِهَذَا عُصْفُورٌ مِنْ عَصَافِيرِ الْجَنَّةِ، لَمْ يَعْمَلِ السُّوءَ، وَلَمْ يُدْرِكْهُ، قَالَ: أَوَ غَيْرُ ذَلِكَ يَا عَائِشَةُ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَلَقَ لِلْجَنَّةِ أَهْلًا، خَلَقَهُمْ لَهَا وَهُمْ فِي أَصْلَابِ آبَائِهِمْ، وَخَلَقَ لِلنَّارِ أَهْلًا خَلَقَهُمْ لَهَا، وَهُمْ فِي أَصْلَابِ آبَائِهِمْ .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was called to the funeral of a child from among the Ansar. I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, glad tidings for him! He is one of the little birds of Paradise, who never did evil or reached the age of doing evil (i.e, the age of accountability).' He said: 'It may not be so, O 'Aishah! For Allah created people for Paradise, He created them for it when they were still in their father's loins, And He has created people for Hell, He created them for it when they were still in their fathers' loins.'
