قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ حَدِيثٌ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ بَعْضِ شِيعَتِكَ وَ مَوَالِيكَ يَرْوِيهِ عَنْ أَبِيكَ قَالَ وَ مَا هُوَ قُلْتُ زَعَمُوا أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ أَغْبَطُ مَا يَكُونُ امْرُؤٌ بِمَا نَحْنُ عَلَيْهِ إِذَا كَانَتِ النَّفْسُ فِي هَذِهِ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ إِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ أَتَاهُ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ وَ أَتَاهُ عَلِيٌّ وَ أَتَاهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ وَ أَتَاهُ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ ( عليه السلام ) فَيَقُولُ ذَلِكَ الْمَلَكُ لِعَلِيٍّ ( عليه السلام ) يَا عَلِيُّ إِنَّ فُلَاناً كَانَ مُوَالِياً لَكَ وَ لِأَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ فَيَقُولُ نَعَمْ كَانَ يَتَوَلَّانَا وَ يَتَبَرَّأُ مِنْ عَدُوِّنَا فَيَقُولُ ذَلِكَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ لِجَبْرَئِيلَ فَيَرْفَعُ ذَلِكَ جَبْرَئِيلُ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ .
Translation
Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Abu Al Mustahil, from Muhammad Bin Hanzala who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! A Hadeeth which I heard from one of your<sup>asws</sup> Shia and the one in your<sup>asws</sup> Wilayah, reporting it from your<sup>asws</sup> father<sup>asws</sup>’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And what is it?’ I said, ‘He was claiming that he<sup>asws</sup> had said: ‘Overjoyed is what a person would happen to be with what we<sup>asws</sup> are upon, when the soul was in this (point)’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Yes. When it would be that, the Prophet<sup>saww</sup> of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would come to him, and Ali<sup>asws</sup> would come to him, and Jibraeel<sup>as</sup> would come to him, and the Angel of death would come to him. So that Angel would be saying to Ali<sup>asws</sup>: ‘O Ali<sup>asws</sup>! Was so and so in your<sup>asws</sup> Wilayah and of the People<sup>asws</sup> of your<sup>asws</sup> Household?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> would be saying: ‘Yes, he used to be with our<sup>asws</sup> Wilayah, and used to disavow from our<sup>asws</sup> enemies’. And Rasool-Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would be saying that to Jibraeel<sup>as</sup>, and Jibraeel<sup>as</sup> would raise that to Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic’.
