Two further views are transmitted. The fourth describes such children as servants of the inhabitants of Paradise. The fifth places them on al-Aʿrāf, between Paradise and Hell; this opinion is also associated with al-Jubbāʾī.
These positions are not interchangeable. Service to the people of Paradise describes one relation, whereas being on al-Aʿrāf is a different assertion about location. Their not explicitly depicting punishment does not make them the same view.
The passage reports attributions here; it does not provide an equally extensive proof for every position. Faithful teaching preserves that limited scope rather than pretending that each position has been conclusively established.
