لَمَّا قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) جَاءَتِ التَّعْزِيَةُ أَتَاهُمْ آتٍ يَسْمَعُونَ حِسَّهُ وَ لَا يَرَوْنَ شَخْصَهُ فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذائِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ وَ إِنَّما تُوَفَّوْنَ أُجُورَكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ فَمَنْ زُحْزِحَ عَنِ النَّارِ وَ أُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَدْ فازَ وَ مَا الْحَياةُ الدُّنْيا إِلَّا مَتاعُ الْغُرُورِ فِي اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَزَاءٌ مِنْ كُلِّ مُصِيبَةٍ وَ خَلَفٌ مِنْ كُلِّ هَالِكٍ وَ دَرَكٌ لِمَا فَاتَ فَبِاللَّهِ فَثِقُوا وَ إِيَّاهُ فَارْجُوا فَإِنَّ الْمَحْرُومَ مَنْ حُرِمَ الثَّوَابَ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ .


Translation

From him, from Ssalma, from Ali Bin Sayf, from his father, from Abu Asama Zayd Al Shahaam, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘When Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> passed away the condolences came with a comer whose (Jibraeel<sup>as</sup>’s voice they (people) heard but they<sup>asws</sup> did not see this<sup>as</sup> person. So he<sup>as</sup> said: ‘Greetings be upon you<sup>asws</sup>, People<sup>asws</sup> of the Household, and the Mercy of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> and His<sup>azwj</sup> Blessings. <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:3#h185"><a href="/books/quran:3#h185">[3:185]</a></a> Every self shall taste the death, but rather you shall only be paid fully your Reward on the Day of Judgement; then whoever is removed far away from the Fire and is made to enter the Paradise he indeed has succeeded</span>. And what is the life of the world except for a provision of deception. In the Presence of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic is a condolence for every difficulty (bereavement) and a replacement for every dying one, and a compensation for whatever is lost. Thus, on Allah<sup>azwj</sup> you should be relying, and to Him<sup>azwj</sup> should you be hoping, for the deprived one is the one who is deprive of the Rewards; and the greetings be upon you<sup>asws</sup>’’.
