قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ مَنِ الْمَسْئُولُونَ فِي قُبُورِهِمْ قَالَ مَنْ مَحَضَ الْإِيمَانَ وَ مَنْ مَحَضَ الْكُفْرَ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَبَقِيَّةُ هَذَا الْخَلْقِ قَالَ يُلْهَى وَ اللَّهِ عَنْهُمْ مَا يُعْبَأُ بِهِمْ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَ عَمَّ يُسْأَلُونَ قَالَ عَنِ الْحُجَّةِ الْقَائِمَةِ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ فَيُقَالُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ مَا تَقُولُ فِي فُلَانِ بْنِ فُلَانٍ فَيَقُولُ ذَاكَ إِمَامِي فَيُقَالُ نَمْ أَنَامَ اللَّهُ عَيْنَكَ وَ يُفْتَحُ لَهُ بَابٌ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ فَمَا يَزَالُ يُتْحِفُهُ مِنْ رَوْحِهَا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ يُقَالُ لِلْكَافِرِ مَا تَقُولُ فِي فُلَانِ بْنِ فُلَانٍ قَالَ فَيَقُولُ قَدْ سَمِعْتُ بِهِ وَ مَا أَدْرِي مَا هُوَ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ لَا دَرَيْتَ قَالَ وَ يُفْتَحُ لَهُ بَابٌ مِنَ النَّارِ فَلَا يَزَالُ يُتْحِفُهُ مِنْ حَرِّهَا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin al Hassan Bin Shamoun, from Abdullah Bin Abdul Rahman, from Abdullah Bin Al Qasim, from Abu Bakr Al Hazramy who said, ‘I said to Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, ‘May Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Keep you well! Who are the questioned ones in their graves?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The ones of pure belief and the ones of pure disbelief’. I said, ‘So there remain these people’. By Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! They will be left alone (as their punishment will be in the wait – to find out if they are saved or destroyed)’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So I said, ‘And what would they be questioned about?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘About the Proof<sup>asws</sup> established between them. So it would be said to the Believer: ‘What are you saying regarding so and so, son of so and so?’ So he would be saying, ‘That is my Imam<sup>asws</sup>’. So it would be said, ‘Sleep. May Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Grant sleep to your eyes’. And they would open for him a Door from the Paradise, and he would not cease to be gifted from its fragrances up to the Day of Judgement. And it would be said to the Infidel: ‘What are you saying regarding so and so, son of so and so?’ So he would be saying, ‘I have heard of him, and I do not know what he is’. So it would be said to him: ‘You will not know’. And they would open for him a Door from the Fire, so he would not cease to Gifted from its heat up to the Day of Judgement’.
