Salimah who was Imam Sadiq's maid narrated that she was near the Imam (a.s) at the time of his death. The Imam (a.s) passed out for a while, and when he became conscious again, he said

“Give seventy Dinars to Hassan ibn Ali ibn Ali ibn al-Hussein known as Aftaes, and so on.” Then she asked him: “Will you also give to one who attempted to attack you with a knife?” He said: “Have you not read the Quran?” She said: “Yes.” He said: “Have you not read the Almighty God's statement: “Those who join together those things which God hath commanded to be joined, hold their Lord in awe, and fear the terrible reckoning.” [The Holy Quran: Ra'd 13:21]

عن سالمة مولاة أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قالت

كنت عند أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) حين حضرته الوفاة فأغمي عليه، فلما أفاق قال: أعطوا الحسن بن علي بن علي بن الحسين - وهو الأفطس - سبعين دينارا، وأعطوا فلانا كذا وفلانا كذا، فقلت: أتعطي رجلا حمل عليك بالشفرة؟ فقال: ويحك أما تقرئين القرآن؟ قلت: بلى، قال: أما سمعت قول الله جل وعز: ﴿والذين يصلون ما أمر الله به أن يوصل ويخشون ربهم ويخافون سوء الحساب﴾.
