8. It is narrated from him (narrator of above Hadith) from Salmah from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa al-Armaniy from Al-Husayn ibn ‘Ulwan from ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Walid who has said the following
“Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, when the Holy Prophet passed away, someone came to them and stood at door of the house. He offered them greeting of peace and then said, ‘O family of Muhammad, 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 assign Him alone to be the person in charge of your affairs; and with His support for you alone, you must in grief and sorrow, agree. A truly affected person is one who is deprived of the rewards from Allah. Assalamu ‘Alaykum (you are ‘Alayhim al-Salam ) and may Allah grant you favors and blessings.’ No one saw him. Someone in the family said, ‘This is an angel from heaven. Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, has sent him to you to offer you condolences.’ Someone else said, ‘He was al-Khadhiru who came to offer you condolences on the death of your Prophet.’”
8ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى الأرْمَنِيِّ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُلْوَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ
لَمَّا قُبِضَ رَسُولُ الله (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) أَتَاهُمْ آتٍ فَوَقَفَ بِبَابِ الْبَيْتِ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ 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 خَلَفٌ مِنْ كُلِّ هَالِكٍ وَعَزَاءٌ مِنْ كُلِّ مُصِيبَةٍ وَدَرَكٌ لِمَا فَاتَ فَبِالله فَثِقُوا وَعَلَيْهِ فَتَوَكَّلُوا وَبِنَصْرِهِ لَكُمْ عِنْدَ الْمُصِيبَةِ فَارْضَوْا فَإِنَّمَا الْمُصَابُ مَنْ حُرِمَ الثَّوَابَ وَالسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ الله وَبَرَكَاتُهُ وَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَحَداً فَقَالَ بَعْضُ مَنْ فِي الْبَيْتِ هَذَا مَلَكٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ بَعَثَهُ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلَيْكُمْ لِيُعَزِّيَكُمْ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ هَذَا الْخَضِرُ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) جَاءَكُمْ يُعَزِّيكُمْ بِنَبِيِّكُمْ (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه).
