8. Aban ibn ‘Uthman has narrated from ‘Uqbah who had heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), saying the following: “
I heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), say, ‘When a man’s soul reaches his chest he then sees.’ I then asked, ‘May Allah keep my soul in the service of your cause, what does he see?’ The Imam said, ‘He sees the Messenger of Allah and he says, “I am the Messenger of Allah. I have good news for you.” He then sees Ali ibn abu Talib (a.s.), who says, “I am Ali ibn abu Talib, whom you loved. He loves to benefit you today.’” I then asked, ‘Can anyone who sees them come back to this life?’ He said, ‘No, when one sees them, he then can never return back to this life.’ He considered it a great thing. He said this is in the Quran in the words of Allah, the Majestic, the Glorious, ‘Those who believe, who were faithful to their belief, receive good news in this world and in the next life and there is no change in the words of Allah.’” (10:64)
8ـ أَبَانُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) يَقُولُ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ إِذَا وَقَعَتْ نَفْسُهُ فِي صَدْرِهِ يَرَى قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ وَمَا يَرَى قَالَ يَرَى رَسُولَ الله (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) فَيَقُولُ لَهُ رَسُولُ الله أَنَا رَسُولُ الله أَبْشِرْ ثُمَّ يَرَى عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) فَيَقُولُ أَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ الَّذِي كُنْتَ تُحِبُّهُ تُحِبُّ أَنْ أَنْفَعَكَ الْيَوْمَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ أَ يَكُونُ أَحَدٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ يَرَى هَذَا ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى الدُّنْيَا قَالَ قَالَ لاَ إِذَا رَأَى هَذَا أَبَداً مَاتَ وَأَعْظَمَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ وَذَلِكَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ قَوْلُ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَكانُوا يَتَّقُونَ. لَهُمُ الْبُشْرى‏ فِي الْحَياةِ الدُّنْيا وَفِي الآخِرَةِ لا تَبْدِيلَ لِكَلِماتِ الله.
