۞
10. Hasan bin Ali bin Muhammed, peace be upon them, was asked about death: What is it? He said: It is credence to that which shall not be. I was told by my father, from his father, from his grandfather, from al-Sadiq, peace be upon him, that he said
Indeed, when a believer dies, he will not be dead, for indeed, the (one to become) dead is the disbeliever. Indeed, Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, says: «He brings out the living from the dead, and He brings out the dead from the living» (6:95). That means (that) the believer (is begotten) from the disbeliever, and the disbeliever (is begotten) from the believer.
وسئل الحسن بن علي بن محمد عليهم السلام عن الموت ما هو؟ فقال: هو التصديق بما لا يكون. حدثني أبي، عن أبيه، عن جده، عن الصادق عليه السلام قال
إن المؤمن إذا مات لم يكن ميتا فإن الميت هو الكفار، إن الله عز وجل يقول: " يخرج الحي من الميت ويخرج الميت من الحي " يعني المؤمن من الكافر والكافر من المؤمن.
