قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) الْمَوْتَ الْمَوْتَ أَلَا وَ لَا بُدَّ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ جَاءَ الْمَوْتُ بِمَا فِيهِ جَاءَ بِالرَّوْحِ وَ الرَّاحَةِ وَ الْكَرَّةِ الْمُبَارَكَةِ إِلَى جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ لِأَهْلِ دَارِ الْخُلُودِ الَّذِينَ كَانَ لَهَا سَعْيُهُمْ وَ فِيهَا رَغْبَتُهُمْ وَ جَاءَ الْمَوْتُ بِمَا فِيهِ بِالشِّقْوَةِ وَ النَّدَامَةِ وَ بِالْكَرَّةِ الْخَاسِرَةِ إِلَى نَارٍ حَامِيَةٍ لِأَهْلِ دَارِ الْغُرُورِ الَّذِينَ كَانَ لَهَا سَعْيُهُمْ وَ فِيهَا رَغْبَتُهُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ قَالَ إِذَا اسْتَحَقَّتْ وَلَايَةُ اللَّهِ وَ السَّعَادَةُ جَاءَ الْأَجَلُ بَيْنَ الْعَيْنَيْنِ وَ ذَهَبَ الْأَمَلُ وَرَاءَ الظَّهْرِ وَ إِذَا اسْتَحَقَّتْ وَلَايَةُ الشَّيْطَانِ وَ الشَّقَاوَةُ جَاءَ الْأَمَلُ بَيْنَ الْعَيْنَيْنِ وَ ذَهَبَ الْأَجَلُ وَرَاءَ الظَّهْرِ قَالَ وَ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَيُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَكْيَسُ فَقَالَ أَكْثَرُهُمْ ذِكْراً لِلْمَوْتِ وَ أَشَدُّهُمْ لَهُ اسْتِعْدَاداً .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhamad, from Ali Bin Al Numan, from Ibn Muskan, from Dawod Bin Farqad Abu Yazeed, from Ibn Abu Shayba Al Zuhry, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘The death! The death! Indeed, and the death is inevitable. The death comes with what is in it. It comes with the cool breeze and the rest, and the Blessed delight to the Lofty Paradise for the people of the eternal abode which they were striving for, and therein was their interest. And the death come with what is in it with the misery, and the regret, and with the turning to the loss to the Blazing Fire for the people of the house of deception which they were striving for, and therein was their interest. Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And he<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘To those who deserve Wilayah (Guardianship) and the Protection of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> and Salvation, the death comes as it is in front of the eyes and the worldly ambitions are kept backward; but if one is under the wilayah (guardianship) of Satan, in his case misfortune and worldly ambitions come before his eyes, and the reality of the death is kept backward’. And He<sup>asws</sup> (the Imam<sup>asws</sup>) said that Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> was asked, ‘Which one of the Believers is the most intelligent?’ So he<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘The one who most frequently remembers the death, and the one who is most intense in preparing for it’.
