Al-Kafi 3494

Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and a number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, and Sahl Bin Ziyad, altogether from Ibn Mahboub, from Malik Bin Atiyya, from Yunus Bin Ammar who said, ‘Abu Abdullah^asws said: ‘The registers on the Day of Judgment would be three registers – a register in which are (recorded) the Bounties, and a register in which are (recorded) the good deeds, and a register in which are (recorded) the evil deeds. So the Bounties would generally cover the good deeds, and there would remain the evil deeds. So the son of Adam^as would be called for the Reckoning, and the Quran would walk in front of him in an excellent image, and it would be saying: ‘O Lord^azwj! I am the Quran, and this is Your^azwj servant who used to exhaust himself by my recitation, and prolong his nights by my slow recitation, and flooded his eyes (with tears) when he (prayed the) <span class="iTxt">Tahajjud Salāt</span>, therefore Please him just as You^azwj have Pleased me’. He^asws said: ‘So the Mighty, the Compeller would be Saying: “My^azwj servant! Extend your right hand”. So it would be Filled with the Pleasure of Allah^azwj, the Mighty, the Compeller, and his left hand would be Filled from the Mercy of Allah^azwj. Then it would be said to him: ‘This is the Paradise, Gifted for you. Therefore recite and ascend. So whenever he recites a Verse, he would ascend a level’.
