الْفَتْرَةِ وَ عَمَّنْ لَمْ يُدْرِكِ الْحِنْثَ وَ الْمَعْتُوهِ فَقَالَ يَحْتَجُّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ يَرْفَعُ لَهُمْ نَاراً فَيَقُولُ لَهُمْ ادْخُلُوهَا فَمَنْ دَخَلَهَا كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ بَرْداً وَ سَلَاماً وَ مَنْ أَبَى قَالَ هَا أَنْتُمْ قَدْ أَمَرْتُكُمْ فَعَصَيْتُمُونِي .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having been asked about the one who died during the era (between one Prophet<sup>as</sup> and the next), and about the one who did not perform violations (sins) and the insane. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Argue against them. He<sup>azwj</sup> would Raise a fire and He<sup>azwj</sup> would be Saying to them: “Enter!” So the one who enters it, it would be a coolness upon him and a safety, and to the one refuses, He<sup>azwj</sup> would Say: “Behold you all! I<sup>saww</sup> had Commanded you, but you disobeyed Me<sup>azwj</sup>!”’.
