Hadith 939
۞
10. It is narrated through the same chain of narrator, as the above Hadith, the following: “Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.), was suffering from a severe eye illness and the Holy Prophet visited him for this reason. He groaned loudly because of severe pain. The Holy Prophet said, ‘
Is it impatience or severe pain?’ He replied, ‘O Messenger of Allah, I have never experienced such a severe pain.’ He said, ‘O Ali, when the angel of death goes to remove the soul of an unbeliever from his body, he takes with him a number of roasting bars of fire with which he removes his (unbeliever’s) soul from his body, and then hell roars.’ Ali (a.s.), then sat upright saying, ‘O Messenger of Allah, please repeat what you just said; it made me forget the severe pain altogether.’ He then asked, ‘Will anyone from your followers face such a condition?’ The Messenger of Allah replied, ‘Yes, an unjust ruler, those who unjustly consume the property of orphans and those who present a false testimony.’”
10ـ وَبِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ أَنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) اشْتَكَى عَيْنُهُ فَعَادَهُ النَّبِيُّ (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) فَإِذَا هُوَ يَصِيحُ فَقَالَ
النَّبِيُّ (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) أَ جَزَعاً أَمْ وَجَعاً فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ الله مَا وَجِعْتُ وَجَعاً قَطُّ أَشَدَّ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ إِنَّ مَلَكَ الْمَوْتِ إِذَا نَزَلَ لِقَبْضِ رُوحِ الْكَافِرِ نَزَلَ مَعَهُ سَفُّودٌ مِنْ نَارٍ فَيَنْزِعُ رُوحَهُ بِهِ فَتَصِيحُ جَهَنَّمُ فَاسْتَوَى عَلِيٌّ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) جَالِساً فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ الله أَعِدْ عَلَيَّ حَدِيثَكَ فَلَقَدْ أَنْسَانِي وَجَعِي مَا قُلْتَ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَلْ يُصِيبُ ذَلِكَ أَحَداً مِنْ أُمَّتِكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ حَاكِمٌ جَائِرٌ وَآكِلُ مَالِ الْيَتِيمِ ظُلْماً وَشَاهِدُ زُورٍ.
