حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمْزَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُهَاجِرٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَاهُ الْمُهَاجِرَ بْنَ أَبِي مُسْلِمٍ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ السَّكَنِ، وَكَانَتْ، مَوْلاَتَهُ أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَقُولُ ‏

"‏ لاَ تَقْتُلُوا أَوْلاَدَكُمْ سِرًّا فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّ الْغَيْلَ لَيُدْرِكُ الْفَارِسَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ فَرَسِهِ حَتَّى يَصْرَعَهُ ‏"

It was narrated from Muhajir bin Abu Muslim, from Asma' bint Yazid bin Sakary who was his freed slave womary that:

she heard the Messenger of Allah say: "Do not kill your children secretly, for by the One in Whose Hand is my soul, intercourse with a breastfeeding woman catches up with people when they are riding their horses (in battle) and wrestles them to the ground."

Reported by Ibn Majah (No. 2012).

قَوْله ( لَا تَقْتُلُوا أَوْلَادكُمْ سِرًّا ) نَهَى عَنْ الْغَيْل بِأَنَّهُ مُضِرّ بِالْوَلَدِ الرَّضِيع وَإِنْ لَمْ يَظْهَرْ أَثَرُهُ فِي الْحَال حَتَّى رُبَّمَا يَظْهَر أَثَرُهُ بَعْد أَنْ يَصِيرَ الْوَلَدُ رَجُلًا فَارِسًا فَيُسْقِطهُ ذَلِكَ الْأَثَر عَنْ فَرَسِهِ فَيَمُوت وَهَذَا الْحَدِيث يُحْتَمَل أَنَّهُ قَالَهُ عَلَى زَعْم الْعَرَب قَبْل الْحَدِيث السَّابِق ثُمَّ عَلِمَ أَنَّهُ لَا يَضُرُّ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ السَّابِقَ وَهَذَا بَعِيدٌ لِأَنَّ مُفَاد الْحَدِيث السَّابِق أَنَّهُ أَرَادَ النَّهْيَ وَلَمْ يَنْهَ وَهَذَا نَهْيٌ فَكَيْف يَكُون قَبْله وَأَيْضًا لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى زَعْم الْعَرَب لَمَا اِسْتَحْسَنَ الْقَسَم بِاَللَّهِ فَالْأَقْرَب أَنَّهُ قَالَهُ بَعْد ذَلِكَ حَيْثُ حَقَّقَ أَ…
