Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ عَنْ أَبِي مُطِيعِ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ قَالَتْ الْيَهُودُ الْعَزْلُ الْمَوْءُودَةُ الصُّغْرَى قَالَ أَبِي وَكَانَ فِي كِتَابِنَا أَبُو رِفَاعَةَ بْنُ مُطِيعٍ فَغَيَّرَهُ وَكِيعٌ وَقَالَ عَنْ أَبِي مُطِيعِ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَذَبَتْ يَهُودُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَوْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَصْرِفَهُ.
English Translation
Waki' told us, saying: 'Ali ibn al-Mubarak told me, from Yahya ibn Abi Kathir, from Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Thawban, from Abu Muti' ibn Rifa'ah, from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, who said: The Jews said, "Withdrawal is the minor burying alive of a child." His father said: In our book it was "Abu Rifa'ah ibn Muti'," but Waki' changed it and said "from Abu Muti' ibn Rifa'ah." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "The Jews have lied. If Allah wanted to create something, no one could turn it away."
