سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَقُولُ اسْتَأْثَرَ اللَّهُ بِفُلَانٍ فَقَالَ ذَا مَكْرُوهٌ فَقِيلَ فُلَانٌ يَجُودُ بِنَفْسِهِ فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ أَ مَا تَرَاهُ يَفْتَحُ فَاهُ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةً فَذَلِكَ حِينَ يَجُودُ بِهَا لِمَا يَرَى مِنْ ثَوَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ قَدْ كَانَ بِهَذَا ضَنِيناً .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from one of his companions, from Muhammad Bin Sukeyn who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> was asked about the man saying, ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Preferred so and so (over me)’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘That is abhorred’. It was said, ‘(If he says) ‘So and so has been generous with himself’?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem. Have you not see him opening his mouth during his death, two or three times? So that is where he is generous with it when he sees from the Rewards of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic, and he used to be niggardly with this’.
