قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) إِذَا حُمِلَ عَدُوُّ اللَّهِ إِلَى قَبْرِهِ نَادَى حَمَلَتَهُ أَ لَا تَسْمَعُونَ يَا إِخْوَتَاهْ أَنِّي أَشْكُو إِلَيْكُمْ مَا وَقَعَ فِيهِ أَخُوكُمُ الشَّقِيُّ أَنَّ عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ خَدَعَنِي فَأَوْرَدَنِي ثُمَّ لَمْ يُصْدِرْنِي وَ أَقْسَمَ لِي أَنَّهُ نَاصِحٌ لِي فَغَشَّنِي وَ أَشْكُو إِلَيْكُمْ دُنْيَا غَرَّتْنِي حَتَّى إِذَا اطْمَأْنَنْتُ إِلَيْهَا صَرَعَتْنِي وَ أَشْكُو إِلَيْكُمْ أَخِلَّاءَ الْهَوَى مَنَّوْنِي ثُمَّ تَبَرَّءُوا مِنِّي وَ خَذَلُونِي وَ أَشْكُو إِلَيْكُمْ أَوْلَاداً حَمَيْتُ عَنْهُمْ وَ آثَرْتُهُمْ عَلَى نَفْسِي فَأَكَلُوا مَالِي وَ أَسْلَمُونِي وَ أَشْكُو إِلَيْكُمْ مَالًا مَنَعْتُ مِنْهُ حَقَّ اللَّهِ فَكَانَ وَبَالُهُ عَلَيَّ وَ كَانَ نَفْعُهُ لِغَيْرِي وَ أَشْكُو إِلَيْكُمْ دَاراً أَنْفَقْتُ عَلَيْهَا حَرِيبَتِي وَ صَارَ سَاكِنُهَا غَيْرِي وَ أَشْكُو إِلَيْكُمْ طُولَ الثَّوَاءِ فِي قَبْرِي يُنَادِي أَنَا بَيْتُ الدُّودِ أَنَا بَيْتُ الظُّلْمَةِ وَ الْوَحْشَةِ وَ الضَّيْقِ يَا إِخْوَتَاهْ فَاحْبِسُونِي مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ وَ احْذَرُوا مِثْلَ مَا لَقِيتُ فَإِنِّي قَدْ بُشِّرْتُ بِالنَّارِ وَ بِالذُّلِّ وَ الصَّغَارِ وَ غَضَبِ الْعَزِيزِ الْجَبَّارِ وَا حَسْرَتَاهْ عَلَى مَا فَرَّطْتُ فِي جَنْبِ اللَّهِ وَ يَا طُولَ عَوْلَتَاهْ فَمَا لِي مِنْ شَفِيعٍ يُطَاعُ وَ لَا صَدِيقٍ يَرْحَمُنِي فَلَوْ أَنَّ لِي كَرَّةً فَأَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ .


Translation

Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Al Hassan Bin Ali, from Bashir Al Dahhan, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus, from Abu Jameela, from Jabir, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, from Jabir Bin Abdullah who said, ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘When an enemy of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> is carried to his grave, he calls out to his pallbearers, ‘Are you not hearing me, O my brethren? I am complaining to you what your wretched brother has fallen into. The enemy of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> deceived me, so he imprisoned me and did not release me, and swore to me that he is an advisor to me, and so he overwhelmed me. And I complain to you of the world which deceived me until when I was greedy to it, it knocked me down. And I complain to you of the selfish friends who gave me hope, then disavowed from me and abandoned me. And I complain to you of the children whom I protected and preferred them over myself, so they consumed my wealth, and betrayed me. And I complain to you of wealth which I prevented from it the Right of Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, so its (bad) consequences were upon me and its benefits were for others. And I complain to you of a house which I spent upon it my earnings and it became a dwelling for others. And I complain to you of the prolonged boarding in my grave calling out to me: ‘I am a house of insects! I am a house of darkness, and the loneliness, and the straitness! O brothers! Withhold me whatever you are able to and be cautioned of the likes of what I face, for I have received news of the Fire, and the disgrace, and the belittling, and the Wrath of the Almighty, the Compeller. O my regret upon what I neglected regarding the Side of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> (Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup>)! And O prolonged wailing! So there is not for me a sympathetic intercessor to be merciful to me. So, if there was a possibility of return for me I would be from the Believers’.
