LessonsSalvation of Children: Aṣlaḥ, Recompense and Theological DifferencesQuiz

إن الأول يثاب في الجنة، والثاني يعاقب في النار، والثالث لا يثاب ولا يعاقب
The first receives reward in Paradise, the second punishment in Hell, and the third neither reward nor punishment.

These are the proposed outcomes within the hypothetical exchange. Reward is related to obedience, punishment to disobedience, and the third case prompts the question of accountability before maturity. This is a reported premise in an argument, not a universal agreement among all theological schools on the fate of children.
