Al-Kafi 4314

Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ibn Fazzal, from Yunus Bin Yaqoub, (It has been narrated) from Saeed Bin Yasaar that he was present with one of the two sons of Sabour, and for them was merit, and piety, and sincerity. So one of them became sick, and I do not reckon except that it was Zakariyya Bin Sabour. He said, ‘So I was present with him during his death, and he extended his hand, then said, ‘My hands have whitened, O Ali’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So I went over to Abu Abdullah^asws, and in his^asws presence was Muhammad Bin Muslim. So when I arose from his^asws presence, I think that Muhammad informed him^asws with the news of the man. So a messenger pursued me and I returned back to him^asws. So he^asws said: ‘Inform me about this man whom you were present with during his death. Which thing did you hear him saying?’ I said, ‘He extended his hand, then said, ‘My hands have whitened, O Ali’. So Abu Abdullah^asws said: ‘By Allah^azwj, he saw him^saww! By Allah^azwj, he saw him^saww! By Allah^azwj, he saw him^saww!’.
