The Sufficient (Vol 3) · Hadith 928 (#Ḥadīth #6)

6ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَمَّنْ مَاتَ فِي الْفَتْرَةِ وَعَمَّنْ لَمْ يُدْرِكِ الْحِنْثَ وَالْمَعْتُوهِ فَقَالَ يَحْتَجُّ الله عَلَيْهِمْ يَرْفَعُ لَهُمْ نَاراً فَيَقُولُ لَهُمْ ادْخُلُوهَا فَمَنْ دَخَلَهَا كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ بَرْداً وَسَلاَماً وَمَنْ أَبَى قَالَ هَا أَنْتُمْ قَدْ أَمَرْتُكُمْ فَعَصَيْتُمُونِي.

6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘ Umayr from Hisham who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah , 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.’””
