Real reward and punishment are in the future life, and as that life is spiritual, the reward as well as the punishment is timeless. The Mutakallimun think that animals and little children are also rewarded in the next world for ill treatment, suffering and death which are inflicted upon them in this world. So we find in Joseph al Basir's Mansuri. But this is absurd.
In fact they are ignorant persons, and do not know what logic is and how it is to be used. Before giving our own views of the nature and existence of God, we must refute the objectionable doctrines of these people. Joseph al-Basir in a work of his called "Mansuri" casts it up to the Rabbanites that in believing that God descends and ascends they are not true worshippers of God.
But little over a century after its foundation the fame of its methods of treatment led to the establishment of a larger and still more luxurious institution the Mansuri hospital at Cairo. It seems that a certain sultan, having been cured by medicines from the Damascene hospital, determined to build one of his own at Cairo which should eclipse even the great Damascene institution.
