قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِذَا وُضِعَ الْمَيِّتُ فِي قَبْرِهِ مُثِّلَ لَهُ شَخْصٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا هَذَا كُنَّا ثَلَاثَةً كَانَ رِزْقُكَ فَانْقَطَعَ بِانْقِطَاعِ أَجَلِكَ وَ كَانَ أَهْلُكَ فَخَلَّفُوكَ وَ انْصَرَفُوا عَنْكَ وَ كُنْتُ عَمَلَكَ فَبَقِيتُ مَعَكَ أَمَا إِنِّي كُنْتُ أَهْوَنَ الثَّلَاثَةِ عَلَيْكَ .
Translation
Ali Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad Al Khurasany, from his father who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When the deceased is placed in his grave, a resemblance of a person is made for him, and it says to him: ‘O you! There were three of us – Your sustenance, which was cut off by the cutting of your term, and there was your family and they left you alone and dispersed from you, and I was your (good) deeds, and I shall remain with you, but I used to be the lesser of the three (in importance) upon you’.
