Les Enfants

2. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad for more than one person who, in a marfu’ manner, have said the following: “He (the Holy Prophet) was asked about the children and he replied, ‘On the Day of Judgment Allah will bring all of them together, light up for them a fire and command them to throw themselves in it. Those of them who are fortunate in the knowledge of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, throw themselves in the fire and it turns cool and peaceful to them. Those of them who are not fortunate in the knowledge of Allah, they refuse to throw themselves in the fire and Allah then orders them to the fire and they will say, “O Lord, You commanded us to the fire and the pen has not moved against us.” The Almighty will say, “I just commanded you face to face but you did not obey Me: how would you obey Me through sending you my messengers in an unseen condition?”’ In another Hadith it is said that the children of the believing people are joined with their parents and the children of the pagans are joined with their parents as this is stated in the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, ‘The offspring of the believers will also follow them to paradise. Therefore, We shall join their offspring to them because of their faith. We shall not reduce anything from their deeds. Everyone will be responsible for his own actions.’” (52:21)

Et dans un autre hadith : "Quant aux enfants des croyants, ils rejoindront leurs pères, et les enfants des polythéistes rejoindront leurs pères", et c'est la parole d'Allah le Très Haut : "Par la foi, Nous les avons fait rejoindre leur descendance."

3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from al-Nadr ibn al-Suwayd from Yahya al-Halabiy from ibn Muskan from Zurarah who has said the following: “I asked abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about the children, and he said, ‘The Messenger of Allah was asked about the children and infants, and he replied, “Allah knows best about what they had been doing.’””

J'ai interrogé Abū Ja'far (que la paix soit sur lui) au sujet des enfants. Il a dit : "On interrogea le Messager de Dieu (que la prière de Dieu et Sa paix soient sur lui et sa famille) au sujet des enfants et des nourrissons. Il répondit : "Dieu sait mieux ce qu'ils font." "

4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from ‘Umar ibn ’Udhaynah from Zurarah who has said the following: “I asked abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about children who die before maturity and he replied, ‘The Messenger of Allah was asked about them and he said, “Allah knows best about what they may do.’” Then he turned to me and said, ‘O Zurarah, do you know what the Messenger of Allah meant thereby?’ I said, ‘No, I do not know.’ He said, ‘He meant to say, “You must not say anything about them but leave their affairs to Allah (to deal with).’””

5. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Sayf ibn ‘Amirah from ibn Bukayr who has said the following: “This is about the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, that read.. . . (The bountiful paradise is for the pious ones) and for the believers and their offspring who have followed them (parents) in belief, whom We shall join with their parents therein. . . . (52:21).’ Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘The children even though may have had shortcomings in their deeds, they will be joined with their parents to grant delightfulness to the eyes of the parents.’”

Les enfants ont limité l'action des pères, alors faites rejoindre les enfants aux pères pour que leurs yeux soient satisfaits de cela.

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

7. Through the same chain of narrators it is said: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘An argument will be made against three kinds of people: dumb people, children, and those who have died in the interval between the passing away and coming of a prophet. A fire will be brought before them and they will be commanded to go in it. Those who go in the fire, it will turn cool and peaceful for them. Those who refuse to go in the fire, Allah, the most Blessed, the most High, will say, “Consider, I just commanded you but you disobeyed Me.’””

Par cette chaîne de transmission, trois personnes seront interpellées : le muet, l'enfant et celui qui est mort pendant la période intermédiaire. Un feu sera élevé pour eux, et il leur sera dit : "Entrez-y". Celui qui y entrera trouvera en lui fraîcheur et paix, et celui qui refusera dira : "Gloire et Pureté à Toi, Tu nous as ordonné et nous T'avons désobéi".
