Yazid ibn Hurmaz reported: Najda wrote a letter to Ibn Abbas asking him about killing children. He wrote back saying, “You wrote to me and asked me about killing children. The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, did not kill them and you should not kill them, unless you know about them what the companion of Moses knew about the boy.” (18:80)
[Musnad Ahmad, Number 3254, Sahih]
Ibn Kathir reported: Qatadah said, “His parents rejoiced when he was born and grieved for him when he was killed. If he had stayed alive, he would have been the cause of their doom. So let a man be content with the decree of Allah, for the decree of Allah for the believer, if he dislikes it, is better for him than if He were to decree something that he likes for him.”
[Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Verse 18:80]
