Official Transcript (English)

The children of polytheists in the Hereafter will be in Paradise. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 'As for the tall man in the garden, he is Ibrahim (peace be upon him), and as for the children around him, they are every child who died upon the Fitrah.' Some Muslims asked: 'O Messenger of Allah, even the children of the polytheists?' The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) replied: 'Even the children of the polytheists.' (Al-Bukhari).

الجواب الكامل (باللغة العربية)

أطفال المشركين في الآخرة يكونون في الجنَّة، قال ﷺ: "وأمَّا الرَّجل الطَّويل الَّذي في الرَّوضة فإنَّه إبراهيم ﷺ، وأمَّا الولدان الَّذين حوله فكل مولود مات على الفطرة". قال بعض المسلمين: يا رسول الله، وأولاد المشركين؟ فقال رسول الله ﷺ: "وأولاد المشركين". (البخاري).
