سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَأْمُرُ مَلَكَ الْمَوْتِ فَيَرُدُّ نَفْسَ الْمُؤْمِنِ لِيُهَوِّنَ عَلَيْهِ وَ يُخْرِجَهَا مِنْ أَحْسَنِ وَجْهِهَا فَيَقُولُ النَّاسُ لَقَدْ شَدَّدَ عَلَى فُلَانٍ الْمَوْتُ وَ ذَلِكَ تَهْوِينٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَيْهِ وَ قَالَ يُصْرَفُ عَنْهُ إِذَا كَانَ مِمَّنْ سَخِطَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ أَوْ مِمَّنْ أَبْغَضَ اللَّهُ أَمْرَهُ أَنْ يَجْذِبَ الْجَذْبَةَ الَّتِي بَلَغَتْكُمْ بِمِثْلِ السَّفُّودِ مِنَ الصُّوفِ الْمَبْلُولِ فَيَقُولُ النَّاسُ لَقَدْ هَوَّنَ اللَّهُ عَلَى فُلَانٍ الْمَوْتَ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus, from Idrees Al Qummy who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Commands the Angel of death, so he returns the soul of the Believer in order to ease upon him, and extracts it from the best of its modes’.
