John Shaqi

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ الْأَوَّلَ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ إِذَا مَاتَ الْمُؤْمِنُ بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَ بِقَاعُ الْأَرْضِ الَّتِي كَانَ يَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ عَلَيْهَا وَ أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ الَّتِي كَانَ يُصْعَدُ أَعْمَالُهُ فِيهَا وَ ثُلِمَ ثُلْمَةٌ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ لَا يَسُدُّهَا شَيْ‏ءٌ لِأَنَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ حُصُونُ الْإِسْلَامِ كَحُصُونِ سُورِ الْمَدِينَةِ لَهَا .


Translation

Sahl Bin Ziyad and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, altogether from Ibn Mahboub, from Ali Bin Raib who said, ‘I heard Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> the 1<sup>st</sup> saying: ‘When the Believer dies, the Angels weep over him, and the spot of the earth in which he used to worship Allah<sup>azwj</sup> upon it, and the doors of the sky through which his deeds used to ascend; and a gap appears in Al-Islam which nothing can fill, because the Believers are the fortresses of Al-Islam like the protective walls around the city’.
