رَوَى وَهْبُ بْنِ وَهْبٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "أَوْلاَدُ اَلْمُشْرِكِينَ مَعَ آبَائِهِمْ فِي اَلنَّارِ وَ أَوْلاَدُ اَلْمُسْلِمِينَ مَعَ آبَائِهِمْ فِي اَلْجَنَّةِ ".
Wahb ibn Wahb narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام, who said that Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام said: "The children of polytheists will be with their parents in the Fire, and the children of Muslims will be with their parents in Paradise."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ رَوَى جَعْفَرُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ أَوْلاَدِ اَلْمُشْرِكِينَ يَمُوتُونَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَبْلُغُوا اَلْحِنْثَ قَالَ "كُفَّارٌ وَ اَللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا كَانُوا عَامِلِينَ يَدْخُلُونَ مَدَاخِلَ آبَائِهِمْ".
Ja'far ibn Bashir narrated from Abdullah ibn Sinan who said: I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about the children of polytheists who die before reaching the age of responsibility. Imam عليه السلام replied: "They are disbelievers, and Allah سبحانه وتعالى knows best what they would have done. They will enter the same places as their fathers."

وَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "تُؤَجَّجُ لَهُمْ نَارٌ فَيُقَالُ لَهُمُ اُدْخُلُوهَا فَإِنْ دَخَلُوهَا كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ بَرْداً وَ سَلاَماً وَ إِنْ أَبَوْا قَالَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُمْ "هُوَ ذَا أَنَا قَدْ أَمَرْتُكُمْ فَعَصَيْتُمُونِي" فَيَأْمُرُ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهِمْ إِلَى اَلنَّارِ".
Imam عليه السلام said: "A fire will be kindled for them, and it will be said to them, 'Enter it.' If they enter it, it will be cool and peaceful for them. But if they refuse, Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic, will say to them: 'Behold, I had commanded you, and you disobeyed Me.' Then Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic, will command that they be taken to the Fire."

وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ اَلْقِيَامَةِ اِحْتَجَّ اَللَّهُ عَلَى سَبْعَةٍ عَلَى اَلطِّفْلِ وَ اَلَّذِي مَاتَ بَيْنَ اَلنَّبِيِّينَ وَ اَلشَّيْخِ اَلْكَبِيرِ اَلَّذِي أَدْرَكَ اَلنَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ هُوَ لاَ يَعْقِلُ وَ اَلْأَبْلَهِ وَ اَلْمَجْنُونِ اَلَّذِي لاَ يَعْقِلُ وَ اَلْأَصَمِّ وَ اَلْأَبْكَمِ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ يَحْتَجُّ عَلَى اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ" قَالَ "فَيَبْعَثُ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَيْهِمْ رَسُولاً فَيُؤَجِّجُ لَهُمْ نَاراً فَيَقُولُ إِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَنْ تَثِبُوا فِيهَا فَمَنْ وَثَبَ فِيهَا كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ بَرْداً وَ سَلاَماً وَ مَنْ عَصَى سِيقَ إِلَى اَلنَّارِ".
In the narration of Hariz from Zurara, from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام, that Imam عليه السلام said: "On the Day of Judgment, Allah سبحانه وتعالى will argue against seven groups: the child, the one who died between the prophets, the elderly person who reached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) but did not comprehend, the simple-minded, the insane person who did not understand, the deaf, and the mute. Each one of them will present an argument before Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic." Imam عليه السلام said: "Then Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic, will send a messenger to them who will kindle a fire and say to them, 'Your Lord عز وجل commands you to leap into it.' Whoever leaps into it, it will become cool and peaceful for him, but whoever refuses will be taken to the Fire."
