3-108 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’ed ibn Abdullah quoted on the authority of Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad, on the authority of Suleiman ibn Davood, on the authority of Abdul Raz’zaq, on the authority of Mu’amir, on the authority of Al-Zuhra that Ali ibn al-Hussein ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib (Imam as-Sajjad (MGB)) said, “
The worst times for man are three: the time at which the angel of death comes to take his life; the time at which he is risen out of the grave; and the time at which he shall stand before the Honorable the Exalted God to see whether he shall go to Paradise or be taken into Hell.” As-Sajjad (MGB) added, “O Children of Adam! If you are saved at the time of death, then you are saved. Else you shall be destroyed. If you are saved when you are being placed in the grave, then you are saved. Else you shall be destroyed. If you are saved when they are taking the people towards the Bridge , then you are saved. Else you shall be destroyed.”Then As-Sajjad (MGB) recited the following verse of the Holy Quran: ‘…Before them is a Partition till the Day they are raised up.’ Then As-Sajjad (MGB) added, “This Partition refers to the grave in which life is hard. I swear by God that the grave can be one of the gardens of Paradise or one of the ditches of Hell!” Then As-Sajjad (MGB) faced a man who was present there and said to him, “Indeed the Residents of the Heavens know the Residents of Paradise and the Residents of Hell! Which group do you belong to? With which of the two shall be your Final Abode?”
3-108 حدثنا أبي رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله قال: حدثني القاسم بن محمد، عن سليمان بن داود قال: حدثنا عبدالرزاق، عن معمر، عن الزهري قال
قال علي بن الحسين بن علي بن أبي طالب عليهم السلام: أشد ساعات ابن آدم ثلاث ساعات: الساعة التي يعاين فيها ملك الموت.والساعة التي يقوم فيها من قبره، والساعة التي يقف فيها بين يدي الله تبارك وتعالى، فاما إلى الجنة وإما إلى النار، ثم قال: إن نجوت يا ابن آدم عند الموت فأنت أنت وإلا هلكت، وإن نجوت يا ابن آدم حين توضع في قبرك فأنت أنت، وإلا هلكت، وإن نجوت حين يحمل الناس على الصراط فأنت أنت وإلا هلكت، وإن نجوت حين يقوم الناس لرب العالمين فأنت أنت وإلا هلكتثم تلا: "وَمِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ بَرْزَخٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ." قال: هو القبر، وإن لهم فيه لمعيشة ضنكا، والله إن القبر لروضة من رياض الجنة أو حفرة من حفرالنار، ثم أقبل على رجل من جلسائه فقال له: لقد علم ساكن السماء ساكن الجنة من ساكن النار، فأي الرجلين أنت، وأي الدارين دارك
