سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) صَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ الصُّبْحَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى شَابٍّ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَ هُوَ يَخْفِقُ وَ يَهْوِي بِرَأْسِهِ مُصْفَرّاً لَوْنُهُ قَدْ نَحِفَ جِسْمُهُ وَ غَارَتْ عَيْنَاهُ فِي رَأْسِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) كَيْفَ أَصْبَحْتَ يَا فُلَانُ قَالَ أَصْبَحْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مُوقِناً فَعَجِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) مِنْ قَوْلِهِ وَ قَالَ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ يَقِينٍ حَقِيقَةً فَمَا حَقِيقَةُ يَقِينِكَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ يَقِينِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هُوَ الَّذِي أَحْزَنَنِي وَ أَسْهَرَ لَيْلِي وَ أَظْمَأَ هَوَاجِرِي فَعَزَفَتْ نَفْسِي عَنِ الدُّنْيَا وَ مَا فِيهَا حَتَّى كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى عَرْشِ رَبِّي وَ قَدْ نُصِبَ لِلْحِسَابِ وَ حُشِرَ الْخَلَائِقُ لِذَلِكَ وَ أَنَا فِيهِمْ وَ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ يَتَنَعَّمُونَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ يَتَعَارَفُونَ وَ عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ مُتَّكِئُونَ وَ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى أَهْلِ النَّارِ وَ هُمْ فِيهَا مُعَذَّبُونَ مُصْطَرِخُونَ وَ كَأَنِّي الْآنَ أَسْمَعُ زَفِيرَ النَّارِ يَدُورُ فِي مَسَامِعِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) لِأَصْحَابِهِ هَذَا عَبْدٌ نَوَّرَ اللَّهُ قَلْبَهُ بِالْإِيمَانِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ الْزَمْ مَا أَنْتَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ الشَّابُّ ادْعُ اللَّهَ لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنْ أُرْزَقَ الشَّهَادَةَ مَعَكَ فَدَعَا لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ أَنْ خَرَجَ فِي بَعْضِ غَزَوَاتِ النَّبِيِّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَاسْتُشْهِدَ بَعْدَ تِسْعَةِ نَفَرٍ وَ كَانَ هُوَ الْعَاشِرَ .


Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, altogether, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Muhammad Al Wabishy and Ibrahim Bin Mihran, from Is’haq Bin Ammar who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> saying that Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> prayed <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> (leading) with the people in the morning. So he looked at a youth in the Masjid, and he was fearful and had hung his head, being pale of colour, his body being slim, and his eyes had sunk in his head. So Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said to him: ‘How is your morning, O so and so?’ He said, ‘I woke in the morning on ‘الْيَقِينَ’ conviction’. So Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> was astounded from his words, and he<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘For every ‘الْيَقِينَ’ conviction there is a reality. So what is the reality of your الْيَقِينَ ‘’ conviction?’ So he said, ‘My conviction, O Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>, it is that which grieves me. I stay awake during my night and am thirsty. I have withdrawn myself from the world and whatever is in it, to the extent that it is as if I am looking at the Throne of my Lord<sup>azwj</sup>, and He<sup>azwj</sup> has Established the Reckoning, and the creatures have been Resurrected for that, and I am among them; and it is as if I am looking at the people of the Paradise blissfully in the Paradise, and they are being introduced and they are reclining upon the raise couches; and it is as if I am looking at the people of the Fire, and they are being Punished in it, shrieking; and it is as if I am hearing the exhalation of the Fire circling in my ears’. So Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said to his<sup>saww</sup> companions, ‘This is a servant whose heart Allah<sup>azwj</sup> has Enlightened with the <span class="iTxt">Emān</span>’. Then he<sup>saww</sup> said to him: ‘Keep necessitating what you are upon’. So the youth said, ‘Supplicate for me, O Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>, that I may be Graced with the martyrdom along with you<sup>saww</sup>’. So Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> supplicated for him, and it was not long before he went out in one of the military expeditions of the Prophet<sup>saww</sup>, and he was martyred after nine persons, and he was the tenth’.
