Al-Kafi 4312

Translation

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Fazzal, from Ali Bin Uqba, from his father who said, ‘Abu Abdullah^asws said to me: ‘O Uqba! Allah^azwj will not Accept from the servant on the Day of Judgement except for this matter (Al-Wilayah) which you are upon, and there is nothing between one of you and him seeing what his eyes would be delighted with except for his soul to reach upto this’, and he^asws gestured by his^asws to the jugular (vein), then he^asws reclined. And Mualla was with me, so he winked at me that I should ask him^asws, so I said, ‘O son^asws of Rasool-Allah^saww! So when his soul reaches to this, which thing would he see?’ And I said it to him^asws ten times, ‘Which thing?’, and every time he^asws said: ‘He sees’, and would not increase upon it. Then he^asws sat up during the last of it and he^asws said: ‘O Uqba!’ So I said, ‘At your^asws service and your^asws assistance!’ So he^asws said: ‘You refuse except that I^asws teach you?’. So I said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allah^saww! But rather, my Religion is with your^asws Religion. So when my Religion goes away to what it was beforehand, how would it be for me with you^asws, O son^asws of Rasool-Allah^saww, every moment?’ And I cried, so he^asws was sympathetic to me, and he^asws said: ‘He sees them both, by Allah^azwj’. So I said, ‘May my father and my mother be sacrifice for you^asws! Who are the two (he would be seeing)?’ He^asws said: ‘That would be Rasool-Allah^saww and Ali^asws. O Uqba! Never would a Believer be drying, ever, until he sees them both^asws’. I said, ‘So when the Believer looks at them^asws both, would he return to the world?’ So he^asws said: ‘No, he would go ahead when he looks at them^asws in front of him’. So I said to him^asws, ‘Would they^asws be saying anything?’ He^asws said: ‘Yes. They^asws would both be coming over to the Believer, so Rasool-Allah^saww would be seatd by his head, and Ali^asws by his feet. So Rasool-Allah^saww would lean over and he^saww would be saying: ‘O friend of Allah^azwj! Receive glad tidings. I^saww am Rasool-Allah^saww. I^saww am better for you than whatever you left from the world’. Then Rasool-Allah^saww would get up and Ali^asws would stand until he^asws leans over him, and he^asws would be saying: ‘O friend of Allah^azwj! Receive glad tidings. I^asws am Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws whom you used to love, I^asws shall benefitting me’. Then he^asws said: ‘This is in the Book of Allah^azwj, Mighty and Majestic’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you^asws! Where is this from the Book of Allah^azwj?’ He^asws said: ‘In (Surah) Yunus^as (Chapter 10), the Words of Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:10#h63"><a href="/books/quran:10#h63">[10:63]</a></a> Those who had believed and were pious <a href="/#/books/quran:10#h64"><a href="/books/quran:10#h64">[10:64]</a></a> For them is good news in the life of the world and in the Hereafter; there is no changing the Words of Allah; that is the mighty achievement</span>’.
