لَا تَمَلُّوا مِنْ قِرَاءَةِ إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ زِلْزَالَهَا فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ كَانَتْ قِرَاءَتُهُ بِهَا فِي نَوَافِلِهِ لَمْ يُصِبْهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِزَلْزَلَةٍ أَبَداً وَ لَمْ يَمُتْ بِهَا وَ لَا بِصَاعِقَةٍ وَ لَا بِآفَةٍ مِنْ آفَاتِ الدُّنْيَا حَتَّى يَمُوتَ وَ إِذَا مَاتَ نَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ مَلَكٌ كَرِيمٌ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَبِّهِ فَيَقْعُدُ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ فَيَقُولُ يَا مَلَكَ الْمَوْتِ ارْفُقْ بِوَلِيِّ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ كَثِيراً مَا يَذْكُرُنِي وَ يَذْكُرُ تِلَاوَةَ هَذِهِ السُّورَةِ وَ تَقُولُ لَهُ السُّورَةُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ وَ يَقُولُ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ قَدْ أَمَرَنِي رَبِّي أَنْ أَسْمَعَ لَهُ وَ أُطِيعَ وَ لَا أُخْرِجَ رُوحَهُ حَتَّى يَأْمُرَنِي بِذَلِكَ فَإِذَا أَمَرَنِي أَخْرَجْتُ رُوحَهُ وَ لَا يَزَالُ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ عِنْدَهُ حَتَّى يَأْمُرَهُ بِقَبْضِ رُوحِهِ وَ إِذَا كُشِفَ لَهُ الْغِطَاءُ فَيَرَى مَنَازِلَهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَيُخْرِجُ رُوحَهُ مِنْ أَلْيَنِ مَا يَكُونُ مِنَ الْعِلَاجِ ثُمَّ يُشَيِّعُ رُوحَهُ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ يَبْتَدِرُونَ بِهَا إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ .


Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ali Bin Ma’bad, from his father, from the one who mentioned it, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Do not be frustrated from the recitation of <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:99#h1"><a href="/books/quran:99#h1">[99:1]</a></a> When the earth is shaken with its (violent) shaking</span> Chapter 99), for the one who was reciting with it in his Optional (<span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>), Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic would not Hit him by an earthquake, ever, and he would not die due to it, nor by a thunderbolt, nor by a calamity from the calamities of the world until he dies. And when he does die, a benevolent Angel would descend upon him from the Presence of his Lord<sup>azwj</sup> and sit by his head, and he would be saying: ‘O Angel of death! Be kind with a friend of Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, for it was frequent what he used to mentioned me and mention the recitation of this Chapter. And the Chapter (99) would say to him similar to that, and the Angel of death would be saying: ‘My Lord<sup>azwj</sup> has already Commanded me that I should listen to him and obey, and not extract his soul until he instructs me with that. So when he does instruct me, I shall extract his soul’. And the Angel of death would not cease to be in his presence until he instruct him with the extraction of his own soul; and when the covers are removed for him, so he sees his house in the Paradise, so he (the Angel of death) would extract his soul from the gentlest of what can happen to be from the treatment. Then his soul would be escorted to the Paradise by seventy thousand Angels, encircling him to the Paradise’.
