Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus, from Amro Bin Shimr, from Jabir who said, ‘Ali<sup>asws</sup> Bin Al-Husayn<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘We<sup>asws</sup> do not know how to deal with the people. If we narrate to them with what we<sup>asws</sup> heard from Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>, they are laughing (in jest), and if we<sup>asws</sup> observe silence, we<sup>asws</sup> have no leeway (for that). He (the narrator) said, ‘So Zamrato Bin Ma’bad said, ‘Narrate to us’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Do you know what the enemy of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> is saying when he is carried upon his coffin?’ So we said, ‘No’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘So he is saying to his pallbearers, ‘Are you not hearing that I am complaining to you? The enemy of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> deceived me, and imprisoned me and did not release me. And I complain to you of brothers whom I established brotherhood with, so they abandoned me. I complain to you of children I protected, so they abandoned me. And I complain to you of a house which I spend upon my earning, so it became a dwelling for others. So, be kind to me and do not hasten. He (the narrator) said, ‘So Zamrat said, ‘O Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup>! If it was this speech he speaks with, (as if) he is about to pounce upon the necks of those that are carrying him’. So Ali<sup>asws</sup> Bin Al-Husayn<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! If it was so that Zamrat has ridiculed a Hadeeth of Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>, so Seize him with an unfortunate Seizing’. He (the narrator) said, So he remained for forty days, then died, and a slave of his was present with him. So when he had been buried, he came over to Ali<sup>asws</sup> Bin Al-Husayn<sup>asws</sup>, and (after) offering a seat to him, Imam<sup>asws</sup> asked him: ‘Where are you coming from, O so and so?’ He said, ‘From the funeral of Zamrat, and I placed my face upon him when they evened (the soil) upon him, and I heard his voice. By Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! I recognised it just as I had recognised it (beforehand) when he was alive. He was saying, ‘O woe be unto you, O Zamrat Bin Ma’bad! Today every friend has abandoned you, and your destination has become the Blazing Fire wherein is you dwelling, and your overnight stay, and the daytime stay’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So Ali<sup>asws</sup> Bin Al-Husayn<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘I<sup>asws</sup> ask Allah<sup>azwj</sup> for the well-being. This is a Recompense of the one who ridicules from the Ahadeeth of Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>’.
