A young boy from among the children of the Ansar was brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he prayed over him.Ayesha said, "How blessed is this child, a sparrow from the sparrows of Paradise. He committed no evil, nor did he reach the age of doing so."He replied, "Or it may be otherwise, Ayesha. Allah created Paradise and created for it inhabitants, fashioning them while they were still in the loins of their fathers. And He created the Fire and created for it inhabitants, fashioning them while they were still in the loins of their fathers."
