In order to discuss this issue we need good, sound proof, but people who have
no knowledge of Shari`ah may try to speak about it. For this reason some of the
scholars did not like to discuss it. This view has been narrated from Ibn
`Abbas, Al-Qasim bin Muhammad bin Abi Bakr As-Siddiq, Muhammad bin Al-Hanafiyyah
and others. Ibn Hibban recorded in his Sahih that Jarir bin Hazim said: I heard
Abu Raja' Al-`Utardi saying that he heard Ibn `Abbas (may Allah be pleased with
them both) saying, "While he was on the Minbar, the Messenger of Allah said:
«لَا يَزَالُ أَمْرُ
هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ مُوَاتِيًا أَوْ مُقَارِبَا مَا لَمْ يَتَكَلَّمُوا فِي
الْوِلْدَانِ وَالْقَدَر»
(This Ummah will be fine so long as they do not talk about children and the
divine decree.)'' Ibn Hibban said: "This means talking about the children of the
idolators.'' Abu Bakr Al-Bazzar also recorded it via Jarir bin Hazim, then he
said, "A group narrated it from Abu Raja' from Ibn `Abbas, but it is Mauquf''.
[وَإِذَآ أَرَدْنَآ
أَن نُّهْلِكَ قَرْيَةً أَمَرْنَا مُتْرَفِيهَا فَفَسَقُواْ فِيهَا فَحَقَّ
عَلَيْهَا الْقَوْلُ فَدَمَّرْنَاهَا تَدْمِيرًا ]
(16. And when We decide to destroy a town (population), Amarna those who live
luxuriously. Then, they transgress therein, and thus the word (of torment) is
justified against it (them). Then We destroy it with complete destruction.)
