إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ إِذَا وَقَعَتْ نَفْسُهُ فِي صَدْرِهِ يَرَى قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ وَ مَا يَرَى قَالَ يَرَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَيَقُولُ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَبْشِرْ ثُمَّ يَرَى عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ( عليه السلام ) فَيَقُولُ أَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ الَّذِي كُنْتَ تُحِبُّهُ تُحِبُّ أَنْ أَنْفَعَكَ الْيَوْمَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ أَ يَكُونُ أَحَدٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ يَرَى هَذَا ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى الدُّنْيَا قَالَ قَالَ لَا إِذَا رَأَى هَذَا أَبَداً مَاتَ وَ أَعْظَمَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ وَ ذَلِكَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ كانُوا يَتَّقُونَ. لَهُمُ الْبُشْرى فِي الْحَياةِ الدُّنْيا وَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ لا تَبْدِيلَ لِكَلِماتِ اللَّهِ .
Translation
Aban Bin Usman, (It has been narrated) from Uqba who heard Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘The man, when his soul comes up to be in his chest, sees’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! And what does he see?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He sees Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>, and Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> is saying to him: ‘Receive glad tidings!’ The he sees Ali<sup>asws</sup> Bin Abu Talib<sup>asws</sup>, and he<sup>asws</sup> is saying to him: ‘I<sup>asws</sup> am Ali<sup>asws</sup> Bin Abu Talib<sup>asws</sup>, whom you used to love. Your love would benefit you today’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘Can it happen for anyone from the people when he sees this, then he would return to the world?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No. When he sees this, he would be dead forever, and that is a great thing. And that is in the Quran, the Words of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic <span class="ibTxt"><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</span>’.
