(18) باب فِي ذَرَارِيِّ الْمُشْرِكِينَ
'A'ishah, mother of the believers, said :
The Prophet (May peace be upon him) was invited to the funeral of a boy who belonged to the ANSAR and I said; Messenger of Allah! This one is blessed, for he has done no evil, nor has he known it. He replied : It may be otherwise, 'A'ishah, for Allah created Paradise and created those who will go to it, and He created it for them when they were still in their father's loins; and he created hell and created those who will go to it, and created it for them when they were still in their father's loins.
