قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) حَدَّثَنِي صَالِحُ بْنُ مِيثَمٍ عَنْ عَبَايَةَ الْأَسَدِيِّ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَلِيّاً ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ وَ اللَّهِ لَا يُبْغِضُنِي عَبْدٌ أَبَداً يَمُوتُ عَلَى بُغْضِي إِلَّا رَآنِي عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ حَيْثُ يَكْرَهُ وَ لَا يُحِبُّنِي عَبْدٌ أَبَداً فَيَمُوتُ عَلَى حُبِّي إِلَّا رَآنِي عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ حَيْثُ يُحِبُّ فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) نَعَمْ وَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) بِالْيَمِينِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Yaya Al Halby, from Ibn Muskan, from Abdul Raheem who said, ‘I said to Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, ‘Salih Bin Maysam narrated to me from Abayat Al-Asady, that he heard Ali<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘By Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! No servant would hate me<sup>asws</sup> ever, dying on hatred, except that he would see me<sup>asws</sup> during his death abhorring it, and no servant would love me<sup>asws</sup> ever, dying upon my<sup>asws</sup> love, except that he would see me<sup>asws</sup> during his death loving it’. So Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Yes, and with Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> upon his right’.
