The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “There are four who will be tested on the Day of Resurrection: the deaf who could not hear anything; the imbecile; the senile old man; and the man who died during the fatarah (interval between two Prophets, when no Message reached him).

The deaf man will say, “O Lord, Islam came and I did not hear anything.”The imbecile will say, “O Lord, Islam came but the young boys were pelting me with camel dung.” The senile old man will say, “O Lord, Islam came and I did not hear anything.” The man who died during the fatarah will say, “O Lord, no Messenger came to me.”

Then Allah will take their pledge to obey Him, and He will send word to them to enter the fire. By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, if they enter it, it will be cool and safe for them.”

Narrated by Al-Aswad ibn Saree’. Ahmad in his Musnad, and classed as saheeh by Al-Bayhaqi.

The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “Angels keep on descending from and ascending to the heaven in turn, some at night and some by daytime, and all of them assemble together at the time of the Fajr and ‘Asr prayers. Then those who have stayed with you overnight, ascend unto Allah Who asks them (and He knows the answer better than they): “How have you left My slaves?” They reply, “We left them while they were praying and we came to them while they were praying.” The narrator added: “If anyone of you says ‘Amin (during the prayer at the end of the recitation of Surat Al-Fatiha), and the angels in heaven say the same, and the two sayings coincide, all his past sins will be forgiven.”
