كل إنسان تلده أمه على الفطرة وأبواه بعدُ يهودانه و ينصرانه ويمجسانه فإن كانا مسلمين فمسلم، كل إنسان تلده أمه يلكزه الشيطان في حضنيه  إلا مريم وابنها

Answer

This Hadith is recorded in Sahih Muslim.

Every human is born with the natural features of Islam. His parents when turn him/her into a Jew, Christian or Fire worshipper. If they [the parents] are Muslim, then the child will be considered a Muslim.

When every child is born, Shaytan strikes him on his sides, besides Sayyidah Maryam and her son (Nabi ‘Isa)
