Al-Kāfi - The Book on Dying People 7ـ وَبِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ قَالَ ثَلاَثَةٌ يُحْتَجُّ عَلَيْهِ٠ُ وَالطِّفْلُ وَ٠َاتَ فِي الْفَتْرَةِ فَتُرْفَعُ لَهُ٠ْ نَارٌ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ٠ْ ادْخُلُوهَا فَ٠َنْ دَخَلَهَا كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ بَرْداً وَسَلاَ٠َنْ أَبَى قَالَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى هَذَا قَدْ أَ٠7.

Through the same chain of narrators it is said: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘An argument will be made against three kinds of people: dumb people, children, and those who have died in the interval between the passing away and coming of a prophet. A fire will be brought before them and they will be commanded to go in it. Those who go in the fire, it will turn cool and peaceful for them.

Those who refuse to go in the fire, Allah, the most Blessed, the most High, 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 (14/236))
