Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي طَلْحَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَمَّتِهِ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتِ طَلْحَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَتْ دُعِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى جَنَازَةِ غُلَامٍ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ طُوبَى لِهَذَا عُصْفُورٌ مِنْ عَصَافِيرِ الْجَنَّةِ لَمْ يُدْرِكْ الشَّرَّ وَلَمْ يَعْمَلْهُ قَالَ أَوَ غَيْرُ ذَلِكَ يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ خَلَقَ لِلْجَنَّةِ أَهْلًا خَلَقَهَا لَهُمْ وَهُمْ فِي أَصْلَابِ آبَائِهِمْ وَخَلَقَ لِلنَّارِ أَهْلًا خَلَقَهَا لَهُمْ وَهُمْ فِي أَصْلَابِ آبَائِهِمْ.
English Translation
Aisha, the Mother of the Believers, reported: The Prophet (peace be upon him) was called to the funeral of a boy from the Ansar. I said: "O Messenger of Allah, blessed is this one! A bird from the birds of Paradise; he did not reach evil nor commit it." He said: "Or other than that, O Aisha. Indeed, Allah the Almighty created people for Paradise and created it for them while they were still in the loins of their fathers, and He created people for the Fire and created it for them while they were still in the loins of their fathers."
