إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ جَمَعَهُمُ اللَّهُ وَ أَجَّجَ لَهُمْ نَاراً وَ أَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَطْرَحُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ فِيهَا فَمَنْ كَانَ فِي عِلْمِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنَّهُ سَعِيدٌ رَمَى بِنَفْسِهِ فِيهَا وَ كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ بَرْداً وَ سَلَاماً وَ مَنْ كَانَ فِي عِلْمِهِ أَنَّهُ شَقِيٌّ امْتَنَعَ فَيَأْمُرُ اللَّهُ بِهِمْ إِلَى النَّارِ فَيَقُولُونَ يَا رَبَّنَا تَأْمُرُ بِنَا إِلَى النَّارِ وَ لَمْ تُجْرِ عَلَيْنَا الْقَلَمَ فَيَقُولُ الْجَبَّارُ قَدْ أَمَرْتُكُمْ مُشَافَهَةً فَلَمْ تُطِيعُونِي فَكَيْفَ وَ لَوْ أَرْسَلْتُ رُسُلِي بِالْغَيْبِ إِلَيْكُمْ . وَ فِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ أَمَّا أَطْفَالُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَيَلْحَقُونَ بِآبَائِهِمْ وَ أَوْلَادُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ يَلْحَقُونَ بِآبَائِهِمْ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِإِيمانٍ أَلْحَقْنا بِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ .
Translation
A number of our compaions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from someone else, (It has been narrated) raising it, that he asked about the children, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When it will be the Day of Judgement, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would Gather them and Inflame a fire for them, and Command them to drop themselves into it. So the one who was in the Knowledge of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> as being a fortunate one would throw himself into it, and it would be a coolness upon him and a safety; and the one who was in His<sup>azwj</sup> Knowledge as a wretched one, would refuse. So Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would Command with them to go the Fire, and they would be saying, ‘O our Lord<sup>azwj</sup>! You<sup>azwj</sup> are Commanding with use to go to the Fire and the Pen (recording the deeds) never flowed against us!’ So the Compeller would be Saying: “I<sup>azwj</sup> had Commanded you all verbally, but you did not obey Me<sup>azwj</sup>, so how would it have been if I<sup>azwj</sup> had Sent My<sup>saww</sup> Rasool<sup>saww</sup> with the hidden matters, to you all?’ And in another Hadeeth: ‘As for the children of the Believers, so they would be joining with their fathers, and the children of the Polytheists would be joining with their fathers, and these are the Words of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:52#h21"><a href="/books/quran:52#h21">[52:21]</a></a> And (as for) those who believe and their offspring follow them in faith</span>’.
