Sahih al-Bukhari 3524 (Book 61, Hadith 34) #3366
Ignorance of the Arabs

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the ignorance of the Arabs and how they have gone astray by inventing lies against Allah and killing their children without knowledge.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: If you wish to know about the ignorance of the Arabs, refer to Surat-al-Anam after Verse #130:-- Indeed lost are those who have killed their children From folly without knowledge and have forbidden that which Allah has provided for them, inventing a lie against Allah. They have indeed gone astray and were not guided'. (6:14)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ إِذَا سَرَّكَ أَنْ تَعْلَمَ جَهْلَ الْعَرَبِ فَاقْرَأْ مَا فَوْقَ الثَّلاَثِينَ وَمِائَةٍ فِي سُورَةِ الأَنْعَامِ ‏{‏قَدْ خَسِرَ الَّذِينَ قَتَلُوا أَوْلاَدَهُمْ سَفَهًا بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ‏}‏ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ ‏{‏قَدْ ضَلُّوا وَمَا كَانُوا مُهْتَدِينَ‏}‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is narrated by Ibn 'Abbas, who was a companion of Prophet Muhammad. It talks about how some people in Arabia were ignorant and went astray from Allah's path. They killed their children without knowledge, which means that they did not understand what was right or wrong. They also invented lies against Allah, which means that they made up stories to try to explain things that only Allah knows. The hadith refers to a verse in the Quran, Surat-al-Anam 6:14 , which states that those who do these things are lost and not guided by Allah's teachings. This hadith teaches us that it is important for us to learn about our religion so we can make sure we are following it correctly and not going astray from its teachings. We should also be careful not to make up stories or lie about what we don't know because this will lead us away from God's path as well.
