Sayyiduna Aswad bin Sari’ (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Four types of people will present their argument on the Day of Resurrection: the foolish person, the insane person, and the person who died during the period of interval (between prophets). As for the first person, he will say: O my Lord! Islam came but I did not hear anything about it. The foolish person will say: O my Lord! Islam came and at that time children would pelt me with dung (meaning my mental state was not sound). As for the insane person, he will say: When Islam came, I had no understanding of anything. As for the person who died during the period of interval, he will say: O my Lord! No messenger of Yours came to me. Then the Lord will take a covenant from these people that they will certainly obey Him. Then the Lord will send a messenger to them (saying): Enter the Hellfire. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) says: By the One in Whose hand is my soul, if they enter it, it will be cool and safe for them.
