Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: "There are four types of people who all argue and plead with Allah with an excuse: a man who died during the interval between two prophets (peace be upon them), a man who died in old age, a mad person, and a deaf and mute person. So Allah will say to them: I am going to send a messenger to you, obey him. Then he will come to them and kindle a fire for them, then he will say: Enter into it. Whoever enters into it, it will become coolness and safety for him, and whoever does not enter into it, the decree of punishment will be established upon him."
