القاسم عن الحسين بن حماد عن يونس بن ظبيان قال: كنت عند أبي عبد الله عليه السلام فقال لي: ما تقول الناس في أرواح المؤمنين؟ فقلت: يقولون: (تكون) في حواصل طيور خضر في قناديل تحت العرش فقال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: سبحان الله المؤمن أكرم على الله من أن يجعل روحه في حوصلة طير أخضر يا يونس إذا (كان ذلك أتاه محمد صلى الله عليه وآله وعلى وفاطمة والحسن والحسين والملائكة المقربون عليهم السلام فإذا) قبضه (الله عز وجل) صير تلك الروح في قالب كقالبه في الدنيا فيأكلون ويشربون فإذا قدم عليهم القادم عرفوه بتلك الصورة التي كانت في الدنيا.

Yūnus ibn Ẓabyān said, “I was with Imam Jaʿfar al-Ṣādiq (a) and he asked me, ‘What do the people say about the souls of believers?’ I replied, ‘They say that they are in the craws of green birds in lanterns under the Throne.’ So Abū ʿAbdillāh (a) said, ‘Glory be to Allah! The believer is more honourable in the sight of Allah than His placing his soul in the craw of a green bird, O Yūnus! When the time [of a believer’s death] approaches, Muḥammad(ṣ), ʿAlī, Fāṭimah, al-Ḥasan, al-Ḥusayn, and the close archangels (peace be upon them all) come to him. And when Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, takes his soul, He places that soul in a form similar to its form in the world; so they subsist, eating and drinking [in that realm as well]. Then, when someone [who has just died] comes to them, they recognize him by the appearance that he had in the world.’”

بن أبي البلاد عن أبيه عن بعض أصحابه يرفعه (رفعه) إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وآله أنه قال لبعض أصحابه: كيف أنت إذا اتاك فتانا القبر؟ فقال يا رسول الله: ما فتانا القبر قال: ملكان فظان غليظان أصواتهما كالرعد القاصف وأبصارهما كالبرق الخاطف يطئان في أشعارهما ويحفران الأرض بأنيابهما فيسئلانك قال: وأنت على مثل حالك هذه قال: أنت على مثل حالك هذه قال: اذن اكفيهما

Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (ṣ), said to one of his companions, “How will you be when the two examiners of the grave come to you?” So he (the companion) asked, “O Messenger of Allah, what are the examiners of the grave?” He said, “Two angels, harsh and severe, with voices like rumbling thunder and eyes like blinding lightning. They will be treading on their own hair and ploughing the ground with their [large] fangs; they will [come to] question you.” He asked, “[Will that be] when I am in a state such as this?” He replied, “[Yes,] you will be as you are in your present state.” He said, “Then I will be able to face them.”’”

علي بن النعمان عن ابن مسكان عن سليمان بن خالد قال: سألت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام عما يلقى صاحب القبر فقال: ان ملكين يقال لهما: منكر ونكبر يأتيان صاحب القبر فيسألانه عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله فيقولان: ما تقول في هذا الرجل الذي خرج فيكم؟ فيقول: من هو فيقولان: الذي كان يقول: إنه رسول الله، أحق ذلك؟ قال: فإذا كان من أهل الشك قال: ما أدرى قال سمعت الناس يقولون فلست أدرى أحق ذلك أم كذب فيضر بأنه ضربة يسمعها أهل السماوات وأهل الأرض الا المشركين وإذا كان متيقنا فإنه لا يفزع فيقول: أعن رسول الله تسألاني؟ فيقولان أتعلم انه رسول الله؟ فيقول: اشهد أنه رسول الله حقا جاء بالهدى ودين الحق قال فيرى مقعده من الجنة ويفسح له عن قبره ثم يقولان له: نم نومة ليس فيها حلم في أطيب ما يكون النائم.

Sulaymān ibn Khālid said, “I asked Imam Jaʿfar al-Ṣādiq (a) about what will be faced by one who is [buried] in the grave, so he said, ‘Verily two angels who are called Munkar and Nakīr will come to the one who is in the grave and will ask him about the Messenger of Allah (ṣ) saying, “What do you have to say about this man who rose among you?” He will ask, “Who was he?” They will say, “The one who used to say that he is the Messenger of Allah. Was that true?” So if the man was one of the doubters, he will say, “I do not know. I heard the people saying [that] but I do not know whether it was the truth or a lie.” So they will strike him such a blow that it will be audible to the inhabitants of the heavens and the inhabitants of earth, except the polytheists.But if he was one of those with certitude, he will not fear and will say [confidently], “Are you asking me about the Messenger of Allah?” So they will ask, “Do you know that he is the Messenger of Allah?” He will say, “I bear witness that he is the Messenger of Allah in truth. He came with guidance and the religion of truth.” Thus he will see his position in Paradise and his grave will be expanded for him. They (the two angels) will then say to him, “Sleep a slumber wherein there is no dream, in the best state of any sleeper.”’”

Then he is asked, ‘What do you say about the man who came before you [as a Prophet]?’ He will be overwhelmed by fear and then, if he is a believer, he will say, ‘Are you asking me about Muḥammad, the Messenger of Allah (ṣ)?’ So they will say to him, ‘Sleep a slumber wherein there is no dream,’ and his grave will be widened by nine cubits. Then he will see his place in Paradise; and that is [what is referred to in] the verse wherein Allah, the Almighty, says: Allah makes the believers steadfast with the firm word [of faith] in this worldly life and in the Hereafter (Q14:27). If [on the other hand] he is a disbeliever, they will ask him, ‘What [do you say] of the man who came before you [as a Prophet]?’ He will reply, ‘I do not know.’ So they will leave him alone with Satan.”’”

So they will [try to] return but a separating wall will be erected [to block them]. They will thus call out to them from behind the wall, “Were we not with you [in the world]?” They will reply, “Yes [you were], but you allowed yourselves to be tempted, awaited [our demise], doubted [the truth], and were deluded by false hopes until Allah’s decree came to pass. Hence the Deceiver deceived you about Allah. So today no ransom will be accepted from you [hypocrites], nor from the disbelievers. Your home is the Fire – that is where you belong. What an evil destination!” (Q57:14-15).’ Then he said, ‘O Abā Muḥammad,by Allah this was not said to the Jews or the Christians; rather, it refers to the people of the Qiblah (i.e. those who outwardly profess Islam).’”

The angels will ask them, “How were you neighbours of Allah?” They will respond, “We used to take the initiative [in action] for the sake of Allah. We would hate for the sake of Allah and love for the sake of Allah. We would [share and] give for the sake of Allah. We would reckon for the sake of Allah, and we would seek blessings [for each other] for the sake of Allah.” Then a caller will call out, “Where are the people of patience?” So a group of people will stand up. The angels will meet them and ask, “With what were you patient?” They will reply, “We were patient in the obedience of Allah, and we would compel ourselves to remain patient in refraining from disobeying Him.” So they will be told, “Enter Paradise.”’”

Muḥammad ibn ʿĪsā narrated from ʿUmar ibn Ibrāhīm Bayyāʿ al-Sābirī,[1] from Ḥujr ibn Zāʾidah, from a man, from Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s) to whom he said“O son of the Messenger of Allah, verily I have a need.” So he said, “Meet me at Makkah.” [The narrator said,] “I said, ‘O son of the Messenger of Allah, verily I have a need.’ So he said, ‘Meet me at Minā.’ I said [again], ‘O son of the Messenger of Allah, verily I have a need.’ So he said, ‘Alright, tell me your needs.’ I said, ‘O son of the Messenger of Allah, verily I have committed a sin between myself and Allah which no one else is privy to, yet it weighs heavy on me, and I revere you too much to mention it to you.’ So he said, ‘When the Day of Judgment comes, and Allah takes account from His believing servant, He stops [and questions] him about all his sins, one by one, then He forgives him for them. No one comes to know of it, neither a close angel nor a chosen Prophet.’” ʿUmar ibn Ibrāhīm said, “I was informed by more than one person that he (a) said, ‘He conceals those of his sins that he dislikes to be questioned about.’ He [further] said, ‘And He says to his misdeeds, “Turn into good deeds!” That is [the interpretation of] the verse wherein Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, says: They are the ones whose evil deeds Allah will change into good deeds, for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Merciful (Q25:70).’”

القاسم بن محمد عن علي قال: سمعت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام يقول. ان الله تبارك وتعالى إذا أراد أن يحاسب المؤمن أعطاه كتابه بيمينه وحسابه فيما بينه وبينه فيقول: عبدي فعلت كذا وكذا وعملت كذا وكذا؟ فيقول: نعم يا رب قد فعلت ذلك فيقول: قد غفرتها لك وأبدلتها حسنات فيقول الناس: سبحان الله أما كان لهذا العبد سيئة واحدة وهو قول الله عز وجل: (فاما من أوتي كتابه بيمينه فسوف يحاسب حسابا يسيرا وينقلب إلى أهله مسرورا) قلت: أي أهل؟ قال: أهله في الدنيا هم أهله في الجنة ان كانوا مؤمنين قال: وإذا أراد بعبد شرا حاسبه على رؤوس الناس وبكته وأعطاه كتابه بشماله وهو قول الله عز وجل (واما من أوتي كتابه وراء ظهره فسوف يدعو ثبورا ويصلى سعيرا انه كان في أهله مسرورا) قلت: أي أهل؟ قال: أهله في الدنيا قلت: قوله: (انه ظن أن لن يحور) قال ظن أنه لن يرجع.

5.Al-Qāsim ibn Muḥammad narrated from ʿAlī who said, “I heard Abā ʿAbdillāh (a) say, ‘Verily when Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, wants to take account [of the actions] of the believer, He gives him his book [of deeds] in his right hand and calls him to account [in private] between Himself and him. He says, “My servant, did you do such and such, and performed such and such [deeds]?” So he will say, “Yes my Lord, I have done that.” He will say, “I hereby forgive you [for these misdeeds] and transform them into good deeds.” So [when they see his book of deeds] the people will say, “Glory be to Allah! Did this servant not have [even] a single evil deed?” And this is [the interpretation of] the verses wherein Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says: As for the one who is given his record in his right hand, he will have an easy reckoning, and will return to his people well pleased (Q84:7-9).’ I asked, ‘Who are his people [being referred to in the verse]?’ He said, ‘His people in the world will be his people in Paradise, if they were believers.’[1] And if He wishes ill for His servant [due to his evil], He calls him to account in front of all the people, reproves him, and gives him his book [of deeds] in his left hand. This is [the interpretation of] the verses wherein Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says: And as for the one who is given his record [in his left hand] from behind his back, he will cry for [instant] destruction and will burn in a blazing fire. He used to [previously] live among his people well pleased [with himself]. (Q84:11-13)’ I asked, ‘Which people [is it referring to]?’ He replied, ‘His people in the world.’ I asked, ‘[What is the meaning of] the statement: He thought he would never return (Q84:14)?’ He said, ‘He assumed that he would never return [to his Lord].’”

القاسم عن علي عن أبي بصير عن أبي عبد الله صلى الله عليه وآله قال: إذا كان المؤمن يحاسب تنتظره أزواجه على عتبات (اعتبا) الأبواب كما ينتظرن أزواجهن في الدنيا من الغيبة (عند العتبة) قال: فيجئ الرسول فيبشرهن فيقول: قد والله انقلب فلان من الحساب (الحسنات) قال: فيقلن: بالله؟ فيقول: قد والله لقد رأيته انقلب من الحساب قال: فإذا جاء هن قلن مرحبا وأهلا ما أهلك الذين كنت عندهم في الدنيا بأحق بك منا.

Imam Jaffar Sadiq (a) said, “When the believer is taken to account [for his deeds], his [heavenly] wives will be waiting for him on the thresholds of the doors just as wives wait for their husbands in this world when they are absent.Then a messenger will come and give them glad tidings saying, ‘So-and so has, by Allah, passed the accounting.’ They will say, ‘[Really,] by Allah?’ He will say, ‘By Allah he has; I saw him returning from the reckoning.’ When he comes to them, they will say, ‘Welcome, welcome! Your family whom you used to be with in the world are not more deserving of you than us!’”

الحسن بن محبوب عن علي بن رئاب عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال: إن الله ليمن على عبده المؤمن يوم القيامة ويدنيه من كرامته ثم يعرفه ما أنعم به عليه يقول ليمن على عبده المؤمن يوم القيامة ويدنيه من كرامته ثم يعرفه ما أنعم به عليه يقول تبارك وتعالى: ألم تدعني يوم كذا وكذا (بكذا وكذا فأجبت عدوتك؟ ألم تسألني يوم كذا وكذا) فأعطيتك مسألتك؟ ألم تستغثني (في) يوم كذا وكذا (فأغثتك؟ ألم تسألني في ضر كذا وكذا) فكشفت ضرك ورحمت صوتك؟ ألم تسألني مالا فملكتك؟ ألم تستخدمني فأخدمتك؟ ألم تسألني أن أزوجك فلانة فزوجتك - وهي منيعة عند أهلها - فزوجناكها؟ قال: فيقول العبد: بلى يا رب قد أعطيتني كل ما سألتك وقد كنت أسألك (سألتك) الجنة قال: فيقول الله: (عز وجل الا فانى منجزلك ما سألتنيه، هذه الجنة لك مباحة أرضيتك (أرضيت) فيقول المؤمن: نعم يا رب (أرضيتني) وقد رضيت قال فيقول تبارك وتعالى (الله له: عبدي) انى كنت أرضى أعمالك وأنا ارضى لك حسن الجزاء فان أفضل جزائك عندي أن أسكنك الجنة.

Imam Jaffar Sadiq (a) said, “Verily Allah will favour His believing servant on the Day of Resurrection and bring him close to His Grace. Then He will show him that with which He blessed him. He, the Blessed and Exalted, will say, ‘Did you not supplicate to Me on such and such day for such and such and I answered your supplication? Did you not ask Me on such and such day and I granted you what you asked for? Did you not seek My help on such and such day and I helped you?’ Did you not ask that I relieve you of such and such hardship so I relieved your hardship and showed mercy to your plea? Did you not ask Me for wealth so I granted you its possession? Did you not seek My assistance so I assisted you? Did you not ask Me to get you married to so and so while she was with her family and not [directly] approachable, yet I got you married to her?’ So the servant will say, ‘Yes indeed, O Lord! You have granted me everything I asked for, and I used to ask You for Paradise [as well].’ So Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, will say, ‘Indeed, I will grant You what you have asked Me for – here is Paradise, you are permitted [to enter] it. Have I pleased you?’ The believer will say, ‘Yes, my Lord! I am pleased.’ Then He, the Blessed and Exalted, will say, ‘I was pleased with your deeds, so I selected for you the best of rewards. Verily the best of your rewards with Me is that I have made you reside in Paradise.’”

الحسين بن سعيد عن محمد بن أبي عمير عن زيد القرشي عن عبيد زرارة قال: سمعت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام يقول: إذا أمات الله أهل الأرض أمات أهل السماء الدنيا ثم أمات أهل السماء الثانية ثم أمات أهل السماء الثالثة ثم أمات أهل السماء الرابعة ثم أمات أهل السماء الخامسة ثم أمات أهل السماء السادسة ثم أمات أهل السماء السابعة ثم أمات ميكائيل قال أو جبرائيل ثم أمات جبرائيل ثم أمات إسرافيل ثم أمات ملك الموت ثم ينفخ في الصور وبعث، قال ثم يقول الله تبارك وتعالى: لمن الملك اليوم؟ فيرد على نفسه فيقول: لله الخالق الباري المصور وتعالى الله الواحد القهار ثم يقول: أين الجبارون؟ أين الذين كانوا يدعون معي الها أين المتكبرون؟ - ونحو هذا - ثم يبعث الخلق

Imam Jaffar Sadiq (a) said, ‘When Allah causes the inhabitants of the world to die,He will make the inhabitants of the lowest heaven [also] die, then He will make the inhabitants of the second heaven die, then He will make the inhabitants of the third heaven die, then He will make the inhabitants of the fourth heaven die, then He will make the inhabitants of the fifth heaven die, then He will make the inhabitants of the sixth heaven die, then He will make the inhabitants of the seventh heaven die. Then He will cause Mīkāʾīl to die, then He will make Jibraʾīl die, then He will make Isrāfīl die, then He will cause the Angel of Death to die. Then the horn will be blown and He will resurrect [them all].’ [In another report,] He as said, ‘Then Allah, the Blessed and Exalted will ask, “To whom does the Kingdom belong this Day?” Then He will respond Himself saying, “To Allah, the Creator, the Originator, and the Fashioner; and Exalted is Allah, the One, the Subduer.” Then He will ask, “Where are the tyrants? Where are those who called upon another god besides Me? Where are the arrogant ones?...” then He will resurrect the creation.’”
