126. It has been reported that Abu 'Abd Allah (a.s) said
Whoever brings joy to a believer, Allah creates from that joy a creature that meets him at his death and says to him, 'Enjoy glad tidings! O friend of Allah with honor from Allah and pleasure.' Then it remains with him until he enters the grave and it says the same to him. When he is resurrected, it will meet him and say the same to him. Thus, it will not cease to be in his company, giving him glad tidings at every stage of horror and it will say to him the same words as before. So, the man will say to it, 'Who are you, may Allah have mercy on you?' 'I am the happiness that you brought to so-and-so,' it will reply.
126- وعن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال
من أدخل على مؤمن سرورا خلق الله عز وجل خلقا فيلقاه عند موته، فيقول له: أبشر يا ولي الله بكرامة من الله ورضوان [منه]، ثم لا يزال معه حتى يدخل قبره، فيقول له مثل ذلك فلا يزال معه في كل هول يبشره ويقول له فيقول له: من أنت رحمك الله؟ فيقول: أنا السرور الذي أدخلت على فلان
