قُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ أَخِي بِبَغْدَادَ وَ أَخَافُ أَنْ يَمُوتَ بِهَا فَقَالَ مَا تُبَالِي حَيْثُمَا مَاتَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَا يَبْقَى مُؤْمِنٌ فِي شَرْقِ الْأَرْضِ وَ غَرْبِهَا إِلَّا حَشَرَ اللَّهُ رُوحَهُ إِلَى وَادِي السَّلَامِ قُلْتُ لَهُ وَ أَيْنَ وَادِي السَّلَامِ قَالَ ظَهْرُ الْكُوفَةِ أَمَا إِنِّي كَأَنِّي بِهِمْ حَلَقٌ حَلَقٌ قُعُودٌ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Al Hassan Bin Ali, from Ahmad Bin Umar, raising it, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘My brother is in Baghdad and I am afraid he would be dying in it’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘You should not care where so ever he dies, as there would not remain a single Believer in the east of the earth or the west of it, except that Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would Resurrect his soul to ‘وَادِي السَّلَامِ’ the valley of peace’. I said, ‘And where is the valley of peace?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘At the back of Al-Kufa. But it is as if I<sup>asws</sup> see them, in groups and groups, sitting, discussing’.
