    Abu Dawud berkata, "Dibacakan dihadapan [Al Harits bin Miskin] -dan aku mendengar- berkata; [Yusuf bin Amru] mengabarkan kepadamu, ia berkata; telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Ibnu Wahb] ia berkata; Aku mendengar [Malik] ditanya, "Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang mengikuti hawa nafsu menjadikan hadits ini sebagai hujah atas kami?" Malik berkata, "Bantahlah hujah mereka dengan kalimat terakhir dalam hadits tersebut." Mereka bertanya lagi, "Apa pendapatmu dengan orang yang meninggal saat masih kecil?" Malik menjawab, "Allah lebih tahu dengan apa yang ia lakukan."
