Hadith 489
۞
4. My father and Muhammad ibn al-Hasan ibn Ahmad ibn al-Walid (RA) both said: Muhammad ibn Yahya al-`Attar and Ahmad ibn Idris both said, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya ibn `Imran al-Ash`ari, on the authority of `Ali ibn Isma`il, on the authority of Hammad ibn `Isa, on the authority of Hariz, on the authority of Zurarah that Abu Ja`far al-Baqir (AS) said
When the Day of Judgement comes, Allah, the Mighty and High, will hold objection against seven: the child, the one who died during the period between two prophets, the elderly senile man who lived during the period of prophecy, the simple-minded person, the mentally ill, the deaf and the dumb. Each of these defendants will plead their case to Allah, the Mighty and High. Allah, the Mighty and High, will send to them a messenger. He will light a fire for them and say: Verily, your Lord has commanded you to jump into it. Thus, whoever jumps in it, it will become cool, and a means of peace for him, and whoever resist will be driven to the Hell.
4 - حدثنا أبي ومحمد بن الحسن بن أحمد بن الوليد رحمهما الله، قالا: حدثنا محمد بن يحيى العطار وأحمد بن إدريس جميعا، عن محمد بن أحمد بن يحيى بن عمران الأشعري، عن علي بن إسماعيل، عن حماد بن عيسى، عن حريز، عن زرارة، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام، قال
إذا كان يوم القيامة احتج الله عز وجل على سبعة: على الطفل، والذي مات بين النبيين، والشيخ الكبير الذي أدرك النبي وهو لا يعقل، والأبله، والمجنون الذي لا يعقل، والأصم، والأبكم، فكل واحد منهم يحتج على الله عز وجل قال: فيبعث الله عز وجل إليهم رسولا فيؤجج لهم نارا و يقول: إن ربكم يأمركم أن تثبوا فيها فمن وثب فيها كانت عليه بردا وسلاما ومن عصى سيق إلى النار.
