Al-Kafi 4721

Translation

Ali Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hassan, from Al Husayn Bin Rashid, from Al Murtahal Bin Ma’mar, from Zareeh Al Muharaby, from Ubadat Al Asady, from Habbat Al Urany who said, ‘I went out along with Amir Al-Momineen^asws to the back (of Al-Kufa), so he^asws paused at the valley of peace (a graveyard) as if addressing a group of people. So I stood due to his^asws standing until I was exhausted. Then I sat until I was tired. Then I stood until there came to me the likes of what came to me the first time. Then I sat down until I was tired. Then I stood and gathered my robe and I said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen^asws! I sympathise with you^asws from the long standing, so rest for a while’. Then I spread the robe in order for him^asws to sit upon it. So he^asws said to me: ‘O Habbat! It was only a discussion with a Believer, or comforting him’. I said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen^asws! And they are like that?’ He^asws said: ‘Yes, and if the covering is uncovered for you, you would see them in groups and groups discussing’. So I said, ‘Bodily or in spirit form?’ So he^asws said: ‘The souls. There is none from a Believer who dies in a spot from the spots of the earth, except that it is said to his soul: ‘Join at the valley of peace, and it is a spot from the Garden of Eden’.
