حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، كِلَاهُمَا عَنْ حَاتِمِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ، أَنَّ نَجْدَةَ كَتَبَ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ خِلَالٍ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بِلَالٍ، غَيْرَ أَنَّ فِي حَدِيثِ حَاتِمٍ: وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَقْتُلُ الصِّبْيَانَ، فَلَا تَقْتُلِ الصِّبْيَانَ، إِلَّا أَنْ تَكُونَ تَعْلَمُ مَا عَلِمَ الْخَضِرُ مِنَ الصَّبِيِّ الَّذِي قَتَلَ ، وَزَادَ إِسْحَاقُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ، عَنْ حَاتِمٍ، وَتُمَيِّزَ الْمُؤْمِنَ، فَتَقْتُلَ الْكَافِرَ، وَتَدَعَ الْمُؤْمِنَ.

"Najd wrote to Ibn Abbas and asked him about some things... A hadith like that of Sulaiman bin bilal (no. 4684), except that in the hadith of Hatim it says: The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) used not to kill the children, so thou shouldst not kill them unless you could know what Khadir had known about the child he killed, or you could distinguish between a child who would grow up to he a believer (and a child who would grow up to be a non-believer), so that you killed the (prospective) non-believer and left the (prospective) believer aside.
