3. Ali has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Hariz from Zurarah who has said the following
“Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, ‘If you find a man in dying condition, dictate to him the relieving words: ‘Allah, the Most Forbearing, the Most Honorable, is the only Lord who must be worshipped. Allah, the Most High, the Most Great, is the only Lord who must be worshipped. It is Allah, Lord of seven heavens and seven earths, all that is between them and beneath them, Lord of the great Throne who is free of all defects, and it is only Allah, Lord of the worlds who deserves all praise.’ Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), then said, ‘Had you met ‘Ikrimah in his dying condition you could have benefited him.’ He was asked, ‘In what way he could benefit him?’ The Imam replied, ‘By dictating to him the matters of your belief.’”
3ـ عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ
إِذَا أَدْرَكْتَ الرَّجُلَ عِنْدَ النَّزْعِ فَلَقِّنْهُ كَلِمَاتِ الْفَرَجِ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ الله الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ الله الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ سُبْحَانَ الله رَبِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَرَبِّ الأرَضِينَ السَّبْعِ وَمَا فِيهِنَّ وَمَا بَيْنَهُنَّ وَمَا تَحْتَهُنَّ وَرَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ وَالْحَمْدُ لله رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) لَوْ أَدْرَكْتُ عِكْرِمَةَ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ لَنَفَعْتُهُ فَقِيلَ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) بِمَا ذَا كَانَ يَنْفَعُهُ قَالَ يُلَقِّنُهُ مَا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ.
