6. It is narrated from him (narrator of above Hadith) from Salmah from Ali ibn Sayf from his father from abu ‘Usamah Zayd al-Shahham who has said the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that when the Messenger of Allah passed away condolences were offered. Someone came to them and they felt his presence but did not see his person. He said, ‘Assalamu ‘Alaykum’ (you are ‘Alayhim al-Salam ), O people of the house and may Allah grant you favors and blessings. Every soul must experience the taste of death. You will receive your reward (from Allah) on the Day of Judgment only. Those who are saved from fire and are admitted into paradise are indeed successful. The worldly life is only a means of deceit. In Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, alone is solace for all kinds of sorrow, good consequences for everyone who dies and proper compensation for all kinds of losses. In Allah, you must trust and in Him alone, you must place your hopes. A truly deprived person is one who is deprived of rewards from Allah. ‘al-Salamu ‘Alaykum’ (you are ‘Alayhim al-Salam ), [O people of the house and may Allah grant you favors and blessings].”’
6ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ سَيْفٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ زَيْدٍ الشَّحَّامِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ
لَمَّا قُبِضَ رَسُولُ الله (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) جَاءَتِ التَّعْزِيَةُ أَتَاهُمْ آتٍ يَسْمَعُونَ حِسَّهُ وَلاَ يَرَوْنَ شَخْصَهُ فَقَالَ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَرَحْمَةُ الله وَبَرَكَاتُهُ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذائِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ وَإِنَّما تُوَفَّوْنَ أُجُورَكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ فَمَنْ زُحْزِحَ عَنِ النَّارِ وَأُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَدْ فازَ وَمَا الْحَياةُ الدُّنْيا إِلاَّ مَتاعُ الْغُرُورِ فِي الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَزَاءٌ مِنْ كُلِّ مُصِيبَةٍ وَخَلَفٌ مِنْ كُلِّ هَالِكٍ وَدَرَكٌ لِمَا فَاتَ فَبِالله فَثِقُوا وَإِيَّاهُ فَارْجُوا فَإِنَّ الْمَحْرُومَ مَنْ حُرِمَ الثَّوَابَ وَالسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ.
