تْ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) حِينَ حَضَرَتْهُ الْوَفَاةُ فَأُغْمِيَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا أَفَاقَ قَالَ أَعْطُوا الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ هُوَ الْأَفْطَسُ سَبْعِينَ دِينَاراً وَ أَعْطُوا فُلَاناً كَذَا وَ كَذَا وَ فُلَاناً كَذَا وَ كَذَا فَقُلْتُ أَ تُعْطِي رَجُلًا حَمَلَ عَلَيْكَ بِالشَّفْرَةِ فَقَالَ وَيْحَكِ أَ مَا تَقْرَءِينَ الْقُرْآنَ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ أَ مَا سَمِعْتِ قَوْلَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ الَّذِينَ يَصِلُونَ ما أَمَرَ اللَّهُ بِهِ أَنْ يُوصَلَ وَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ وَ يَخافُونَ سُوءَ الْحِسابِ قَالَ ابْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ حَمَلَ عَلَيْكَ بِالشَّفْرَةِ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَقْتُلَكَ فَقَالَ أَ تُرِيدِينَ عَلَى أَنْ لَا أَكُونَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى الَّذِينَ يَصِلُونَ ما أَمَرَ اللَّهُ بِهِ أَنْ يُوصَلَ وَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ وَ يَخافُونَ سُوءَ الْحِسابِ نَعَمْ يَا سَالِمَةُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَلَقَ الْجَنَّةَ وَ طَيَّبَهَا وَ طَيَّبَ رِيحَهَا وَ إِنَّ رِيحَهَا لَتُوجَدُ مِنْ مَسِيرَةِ أَلْفَيْ عَامٍ وَ لَا يَجِدُ رِيحَهَا عَاقٌّ وَ لَا قَاطِعُ رَحِمٍ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Jameel Bin Salih, from Hisham Bin Ahmad and Ali Bn Ibrahim, from his father and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ibrahim Bin Abdul Hameed altogether, (It has been narrated) from Salima, a slave girl of Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> who said, ‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> when death presented itself to him<sup>asws</sup>. So he<sup>asws</sup> fell unconscious, then woke up, said: ‘Give seventy Dinars to Al-Hassan son of Ali<sup>asws</sup> Bin Al-Husayn<sup>asws</sup>, and he was Al-Aftas, and give so and so such and such, and to so and so such and such’. So I said, ‘You<sup>asws</sup> want to give a man who attacked you<sup>asws</sup> with a blade?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Woe be unto you! Have you not read the Quran?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Have you not hear the Words of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:13#h21"><a href="/books/quran:13#h21">[13:21]</a></a> And those who join what Allah has Bidden to be joined and have awe of their Lord and they are fearing the evil Reckoning</span>’. Ibn Mahboub said in his Hadeeth – ‘One who attacked you with a blade intending to kill you<sup>asws</sup>?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Are you wanting that I<sup>asws</sup> should happen to be from the ones about whom Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Blessed and High Said <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:13#h21"><a href="/books/quran:13#h21">[13:21]</a></a> And those who join what Allah has Bidden to be joined and have awe of their Lord and they are fearing the evil Reckoning</span>? Yes, O Salima! Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Created the Paradise and its perfume, and aromatised its aroma, and its aroma can be found (smelt) from a travel distance of two thousand years, and it would not be smelt by one disobedient to his parents (Aaq), and one who has cut-off relationships’.
