I saw Abu Ja`far al-Baqir (AS) praying over the small son of Ja`far (AS), so he said the Allhhu Akbar then said: “O Zurarah! Verily, this and its likes do not require the prayer (of the deceased). If it were not for the fact that people would say “the Hashimites do not pray on the children,’ I would not have prayed.” Zurarah says: I asked him, “No, by Allah?” He (AS) answered, For Allah, the Mighty and High, is the divine will for them. When the Day of Judgement comes, Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, will hold evidence over seven: the child, the one that died between the time gap of two prophets, the old man that grasped the era of a prophet while he was not sane, the simple-minded, the mentally ill, the deaf and the dumb. Then each one of these will seek evidence on Allah, the Mighty and High, on the Day of Judgment. Allah, the Mighty and high, will send to them a messenger, who will make a fire for them and will say: Verily, your Lord has commanded you to jump in it. Thus, whoever jumps init, it will become cool and a means of peace for him, and whoever resists will be drive to the Hell.
