Abu al-Tahir narrated to us, Ibn Wahb informed us, Ibn Abi Dhi'b and Yunus informed me, from Ibn Shihab, from 'Ata' ibn Yazid, from Abu Hurayrah, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was asked about the children of the polytheists, and he said: "Allah knows best what they would have done."
