Sunan Ibn Majah 2012 (Book 9, Hadith 168) #31364
The Wrongfulness of Secretly Killing Children

SUMMARY: Killing children secretly is wrong and should not be done.

It was narrated from Muhajir bin Abu Muslim, from Asma' bint Yazid bin Sakary who was his freed slave woman that: she heard the Messenger of Allah 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".
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمْزَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُهَاجِرٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَاهُ الْمُهَاجِرَ بْنَ أَبِي مُسْلِمٍ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ السَّكَنِ، وَكَانَتْ، مَوْلاَتَهُ أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَقْتُلُوا أَوْلاَدَكُمْ سِرًّا فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّ الْغَيْلَ لَيُدْرِكُ الْفَارِسَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ فَرَسِهِ حَتَّى يَصْرَعَهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the wrongfulness of killing children secretly. It was narrated by Muhajir bin Abu Muslim, from Asma' bint Yazid bin Sakary who was his freed slave woman that she heard the Messenger of Allah say that one should not kill their children in secret as it is a great sin. He also said that intercourse with a breastfeeding woman catches up with people when they are riding their horses and wrestles them to the ground. This means that even if someone tries to hide their sins, Allah will still catch up with them and punish them for it eventually. Therefore, one should always strive to do good deeds and stay away from sins as much as possible so they can be rewarded in this life and the hereafter.
