Al-Kāfi - The Book on Dying People 6ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِي٠َ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُ٠َيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَا٠ٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلا٠) أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَ٠َاتَ فِي الْفَتْرَةِ وَعَ٠ْ يُدْرِكِ الْحِنْثَ وَالْ٠َعْتُوهِ فَقَالَ يَحْتَجُّ الله عَلَيْهِ٠ْ نَاراً فَيَقُولُ لَهُ٠ْ ادْخُلُوهَا فَ٠َنْ دَخَلَهَا كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ بَرْداً وَسَلاَ٠َنْ أَبَى قَالَ هَا أَنْتُ٠6.

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘ Umayr from Hisham who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah was asked about those who die in the interval (between the passing away of one prophet and coming of the other), those who have not committed sins, and people with severe mental conditions. He replied, ‘Allah argues against them by lighting up a fire and telling them to walk in it.

Those who go in the fire it becomes cool and peaceful for them and to those who refuse Allah will say, “Consider, I just commanded you but you disobeyed Me.’”” حسن - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (14/235))
