[Machine] On the Day of Resurrection, there will be four types of people who will present their excuses. The first is a deaf person who cannot hear, and he will say, "O Lord, I came and the children threw me with stones." The second is a foolish person who lacks understanding, and he will say, "Certainly Islam came, but I did not comprehend." The third is an old person who will say, "Indeed, Islam came, but my mind failed to grasp it." And the fourth is a person who died during the interval between the messengers, and he will say, "O Lord, Your messenger did not come to me, nor did he take their covenants, so that I may follow them." Then a messenger will be sent to them, instructing them to enter the Fire. But by the One in Whose hand is my soul, if they enter it, it will be a cool and peaceful place for them.  

الطبراني:٨٤١حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْفِرْيَابِيُّ ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ رَاهَوَيْهِ ثنا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنِ الْأَحْنَفِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ سَرِيعٍ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ أَرْبَعَةٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يُدْلُونَ بِحُجَّةٍ أَصَمُّ لَا يَسْمَعُ وَرَجُلٌ أَحْمَقُ وَرَجُلٌ هَرَمٌ وَمَنْ مَاتَ فِي الْفَتْرَةِ فَأَمَّا الْأَصَمُّ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ جَاءَ وَالصِّبْيَانُ يَقْذِفُونِي بِالْبَعْرِ وَأَمَّا الْهَرَمُ فَيَقُولُ لَقَدْ جَاءَ الْإِسْلَامُ وَمَا أَعْقِلُ وَأَمَّا الَّذِي مَاتَ فِي الْفَتْرَةِ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّ مَا أَتَانِي رَسُولُكَ فَيَأْخُذَ مَوَاثِيقَهُمْ لَيُطِيعَنَّهُ فَيُرْسِلَ إِلَيْهِمْ رَسُولًا أَنِ ادْخُلُوا النَّارَ قَالَ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ دَخَلُوهَا لَكَانَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ بَرْدًا وَسَلَامًا

[Machine] The Prophet of Allah, ﷺ , said, "On the Day of Judgment, there will be four types of people: a deaf man who cannot hear anything, a foolish man, a senile man, and a man who died during a certain period. As for the deaf man, he will say, 'Oh Lord, Islam has come but I did not hear anything.' As for the foolish man, he will say, 'Oh Lord, Islam has come and the children insulted me with their abuses.' As for the senile man, he will say, 'Oh Lord, Islam has come but I did not understand anything.' And as for the one who died during the period, he will say, 'Oh Lord, no messenger came to me to present their covenants for me to obey.' Then Allah will send a command to them to enter the Hellfire. By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, if they enter it, it will become cool and peaceful for them."  

أحمد:١٦٣٠١حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنِ الْأَحْنَفِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ سَرِيعٍ

أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَرْبَعَةٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ رَجُلٌ أَصَمُّ لَا يَسْمَعُ شَيْئًا وَرَجُلٌ أَحْمَقُ وَرَجُلٌ هَرَمٌ وَرَجُلٌ مَاتَ فِي فَتْرَةٍ فَأَمَّا الْأَصَمُّ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّ لَقَدْ جَاءَ الْإِسْلَامُ وَمَا أَسْمَعُ شَيْئًا وَأَمَّا الْأَحْمَقُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّ لَقَدْ جَاءَ الْإِسْلَامُ وَالصِّبْيَانُ يَحْذِفُونِي بِالْبَعْرِ وَأَمَّا الْهَرَمُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّ لَقَدْ جَاءَ الْإِسْلَامُ وَمَا أَعْقِلُ شَيْئًا وَأَمَّا الَّذِي مَاتَ فِي الْفَتْرَةِ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّ مَا أَتَانِي لَكَ رَسُولٌ فَيَأْخُذُ مَوَاثِيقَهُمْ لَيُطِيعُنَّهُ فَيُرْسِلُ إِلَيْهِمْ أَنْ ادْخُلُوا النَّارَ قَالَ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَوْ دَخَلُوهَا لَكَانَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ بَرْدًا وَسَلَامًا  

ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَنْ وَصْفِ الْأَقْوَامِ الَّذِينَ يَحْتَجُّونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said, "On the Day of Resurrection, four types of people will argue for themselves. A deaf person will say, 'O Lord, Islam came but I did not hear anything.' An ignorant person will say, 'O Lord, Islam came but the children ridiculed me.' An old person will say, 'O Lord, Islam came but I did not understand.' And a person who died in the period between prophets will say, 'O Lord, no messenger came to me to receive his covenant and obey him.' So, Allah will send a messenger to them and they will be ordered to enter the Fire. By the One in Whose hand is my soul, if they enter it, it will be cool and safe for them.'"

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «أَرْبَعَةٌ يَحْتَجُّونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ رَجُلٌ أَصَمُّ وَرَجُلٌ أَحْمَقُ وَرَجُلٌ هَرِمٌ وَرَجُلٌ مَاتَ فِي الْفَتْرَةِ فَأَمَّا الْأَصَمُّ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ لَقَدْ جَاءَ الْإِسْلَامُ وَمَا أَسْمَعُ شَيْئًا وَأَمَّا الْأَحْمَقُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّ قَدْ جَاءَ الْإِسْلَامُ وَالصِّبْيَانُ يَحْذِفُونَنِي بِالْبَعَرِ وَأَمَّا الْهَرِمُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّ لَقَدْ جَاءَ الْإِسْلَامُ وَمَا أَعْقِلُ وَأَمَّا الَّذِي مَاتَ فِي الْفَتْرَةِ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّ مَا أَتَانِي لَكَ رَسُولٌ فَيَأْخُذُ مَوَاثِيقَهُمْ لَيُطِيعُنَّهُ فَيُرْسِلُ إِلَيْهِمْ رَسُولًا أَنِ ادْخُلُوا النَّارَ قَالَ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ دَخَلُوهَا كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ بَرْدًا وَسَلَامًا»

"أربَعةٌ يحتَّجونَ يَوْمَ القيامة: رجل أصم لا يسمعُ شيئًا، ورجل أحمقُ، ورجلٌ هَرِمٌ، ورجلٌ ماتَ في فترةٍ؛ فأمَّا الأصم: فيقُولُ: ربِّ لقد جاءَ الإِسلامُ ومَا أسْمَعُ شيئًا، وأمَّا الأحمَق فيقول: ربِّ جاءَ الإِسلامُ والصبيانُ يَحذِقُونَينِي بالبعرِ، وأمَّا الهرمُ: فيقولُ: ربِّ لقد جاءَ الإِسلامُ وما أعقل شيئًا، وأمَّا الَّذي ماتَ في الفَتْرَة فيقول: ربِّ ما أتانِي لك رسولُ. فيأخُذُ مواثيقَهم ليطيعنَّه، فيرسلُ لهم أن ادخُلوا النارَ، فمن دخلها كانت عليه بَردًا وسلامًا، ومَنْ لَمْ يدخُلها سُحِبَ إلَيها".
