حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ حَمْزَةَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُهَاجِرٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَاهُ الْمُهَاجِرَ بْنَ أَبِي مُسْلِمٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَسْمَائَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ السَّکَنِ وَکَانَتْ مَوْلَاتَهُ أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَا تَقْتُلُوا أَوْلَادَکُمْ سِرًّا فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّ الْغَيْلَ لَيُدْرِکُ الْفَارِسَ عَلَی ظَهْرِ فَرَسِهِ حَتَّی يَصْرَعَهُ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 2012
It was narrated from Muhajir bin Abu Muslim, from Asma' bint Yazid bin Sakan, who was his freed slave woman, that she heard the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H 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. (Da'if)
