قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) إِذَا قُبِضَ وَلَدُ الْمُؤْمِنِ وَ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا قَالَ الْعَبْدُ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى لِمَلَائِكَتِهِ قَبَضْتُمْ وَلَدَ فُلَانٍ فَيَقُولُونَ نَعَمْ رَبَّنَا قَالَ فَيَقُولُ فَمَا قَالَ عَبْدِي قَالُوا حَمِدَكَ وَ اسْتَرْجَعَ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى أَخَذْتُمْ ثَمَرَةَ قَلْبِهِ وَ قُرَّةَ عَيْنِهِ فَحَمِدَنِي وَ اسْتَرْجَعَ ابْنُوا لَهُ بَيْتاً فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ سَمُّوهُ بَيْتَ الْحَمْدِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al Nowfaly, from Al Sakuny, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘When a child of a believer dies, and Allah<sup>azwj</sup> is more Knowing with what the servant says (during the bereavement), Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Blessed and High Says to His<sup>azwj</sup> Angels: “Did you capture a child of so and so?” So they are saying: ‘Yes, our Lord<sup>azwj</sup>!’ So He<sup>azwj</sup> is Saying: “So what did My<sup>azwj</sup> servant say?” They are saying: ‘He praised You<sup>azwj</sup> and said <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:2#h156"><a href="/books/quran:2#h156">[2:156]</a></a> Surely we are for Allah and to Him we are returning</span>’. So Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Blessed and High is Saying: “You took the fruit of his heart and the delight of his eyes and he praised Me<sup>azwj</sup> and said <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:2#h156"><a href="/books/quran:2#h156">[2:156]</a></a> Surely we are for Allah and to Him we are returning</span>. Build a house for him in the Paradise and name it as the House of Praise’.
