Question

What is the source and authenticity of the following narration?

It is narrated that the crying of a baby at birth until two months is as if the child is testifying to the Kalimah Tayyibah. For four months after this, the child’s crying is reliance upon Allah. For eight months after that, the child’s crying is salutations upon Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam). After this, for two years, the child’s crying is seeking forgiveness for the parents

 

Answer

‘Allamah Sakhawi (rahimahullah) has referenced this narration to Daylami. The wording that appears in Musnadul Firdaws of Ad Daylami is slightly different.

(Al Qawlul Badi’, pg. 132, Musnadul Firdaws, Hadith: 2142)

Nevertheless, the chain is extremely weak.

(Refer: Footnotes of Shaykh Muhammad ‘Awwamah on Al Qawlul Badi’)

Hafiz Ibn Hajar (rahimahullah) has recorded a similar narration a fabrication. See it here

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.

التخريج من المصادر العربية

القول البديع في الصلاة على الحبيب الشفيع (ص: ١٣٢)
(٨) – وعن ابن عمر – رضي الله عنهما – رفعه «بكاء الصبي إلى شهرين: شهادة أن لا إله إلا الله وإلى أربعة أشهر: الثقة بالله وإلى ثمانية أشهر: الصلاة على النبي – صلى الله عليه وسلم – ولسنتين: استغفار لوالديه، فإذا استقى أنبع الله له من ضرع أمه عينا من الجنة فيشرب، فتجزئه من الطعام والشراب» أخرجه الديلمي بسند ضعيف (۳).

تعليق العلامة محمد عوامة:
(۳) جدا، انظر «اللآلىء المصنوعة» ۱: ۹۹، و«تنزيه الشريعة» ۱: ۱۷۱.

الفردوس بمأثور الخطاب (٢/ ٢٢)
(٢١٤٢) – ابن عمر
«بكاء الصبي لشهرين شهادة أن لا إله إلا الله ولأربعة أشهر الثقة بالله ولستة أشهر الصلاة علي رسول الله ولسنتين استغفار لوالديه، فإذا استسقى انج الله له من صدغ أمه عينا من الجنة، فيشرب فيجزيه من الطعام والشراب».
