Al-Kafi 4728

Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Ahmad, from Yunus Bin Zabyan who said, ‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullah^asws, so he^asws said: ‘What are the people saying regarding the souls of the Believers?’ So I said, ‘They are saying, ‘They happen to be in the craws of green birds in a lamp beneath the Throne’. So Abu Abdullah^asws said: ‘Glory be to Allah^azwj! The Believer is more prestigious to Allah^azwj than for Him^azwj to Make his soul to be in a craw of a bird. O Yunus! When it was that, there come to him Muhammad^saww, and Ali^asws, and Syeda Fatima^asws, and Al-Hassan^asws, and Al-Husayn^asws, and the Angels of Proximity. So when Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic Captures him, that comes to be in a mould like his own mould used to be in the world. So they are eating and drinking, and when the comer comes over to them, they recognise him by that very image which he used to have in the world’.
