4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father, from al-Nawfaliy from al-Sakuniy who has said the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah has said, ‘When a son of a believing person dies - Allah knows what the servant (of Allah) may say - Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, says to His angels, “Have you taken the soul of the son of My servant out of his body?” They reply, “Yes, O Lord, we have done so.” He then asks, “What did My servant say?” They say, “He praised You and said, ‘We are for Allah and to Him we return.’” Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, then says, “So you took away the fruit of his heart and the delight of his eyes but he praised Me and spoke of his return to Me. (For his reward) build a house for him in paradise and call it the house of al-Hamd (praising Allah).””’
4ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ
قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) إِذَا قُبِضَ وَلَدُ الْمُؤْمِنِ وَالله أَعْلَمُ بِمَا قَالَ الْعَبْدُ قَالَ الله تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى لِمَلاَئِكَتِهِ قَبَضْتُمْ وَلَدَ فُلاَنٍ فَيَقُولُونَ نَعَمْ رَبَّنَا قَالَ فَيَقُولُ فَمَا قَالَ عَبْدِي قَالُوا حَمِدَكَ وَاسْتَرْجَعَ فَيَقُولُ الله تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَخَذْتُمْ ثَمَرَةَ قَلْبِهِ وَقُرَّةَ عَيْنِهِ فَحَمِدَنِي وَاسْتَرْجَعَ ابْنُوا لَهُ بَيْتاً فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَسَمُّوهُ بَيْتَ الْحَمْدِ.
