۞
4. Muhammed bin Ali, peace be upon them both, said: It was said to Ali bin Hussain, peace be upon them both: What is death? He said: To the believer, it is like the removal of dirty and scabby clothes, the unlocking of heavy chains and shackles, and the replacement of that with the most luxuriant and good-smelling clothes, the best riding vehicle and the most courteous of houses. To the disbeliever, it is like the removal of luxuriant clothes and the transfer from courteous houses, and the replacement of that with the dirtiest and roughest of clothes, the most desolated of houses and the greatest torment.
وقال محمد بن علي عليهما السلام،: قيل لعلي بن الحسين عليهما السلام: ما لموت؟ قال
للمؤمن كنزع ثياب وسخه قملة ، وفك قيود وأغلال ثقيلة، والاستبدال بأفخر الثياب وأطيبها روائح وأوطئ المراكب، وآنس المنازل وللكافر كخلع ثياب فاخرة، والنقل عن منازل أنيسة، والاستبدال بأوسخ الثياب وأخشنها، وأوحش المنازل وأعظم العذاب.
