Al-Kafi 3506

Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad, from Suleyman Bin Dawood, from Hafs who said, ‘I heard Musa^asws Bin Ja’far^asws saying to a man: ‘Would you love to remain in the world?’ So he said, ‘Yes’. So he^asws said: ‘And why?’ He said, ‘In order to recite <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:112#h1"><a href="/books/quran:112#h1">[112:1]</a></a> Say He Allah is One </span>(Chapter 112)’. So he^asws was silent from him, and said to him after a while: ‘O Hafs! The one from our^asws friends and our^asws Shias who dies and is not good (at reciting) the Quran, <span style="text-decoration: underline">would be taught in his grave</span>, in order for Allah^azwj to Raise his status by it, from his (current) level, for the Levels of the Paradise are upon a measurement of the Verses of the Quran. It would be said to him: ‘Recite and ascend’. So he would recite, then he would ascend’. Hafs said, ‘So I did not see anyone more intensely fearful upon himself than Musa^asws Bin Ja’far^asws, nor anyone more hopeful of the people than him^asws, and it was so that his^asws recitation was (full of) grief. So whenever he^asws recited, it was as if he^asws was addressing the people’.
