Sahih Muslim: Book 46, Hadith 41

Abu Huraira reported that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was asked about the children of the polytheists, whereupon he said: It is Allah Who knows best what they would be doing.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، وَيُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ،
شِهَابٍ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم سُئِلَ عَنْ
أَوْلاَدِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَقَالَ ‏
“‏ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا كَانُوا عَامِلِينَ ‏”‏ ‏.‏
