Hadith.347 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "During the time of the Messenger of Allah (sw), a man from the people of Medina was unable to speak due to throes of death. The Messenger of Allah (sw) entered upon him and said: 'Say: There is no god but Allah (swt).' But the man was unable to say it. The Messenger of Allah (sw) repeated it to him, but he still could not say it. At the head of this man was a woman, and He asked her: 'Is this man’s mother present?'" She said: 'Yes, O’ Messenger of Allah (sw), I am his mother.' He asked her: 'Are you pleased with him or displeased?' She said: 'I am displeased with him.' The Messenger of Allah (sw) said to her: "I would like that you become pleased with him," She said: 'I am pleased with him for your sake, O’ Messenger of Allah (sw).' He (sw) then said to him: "Say: There is no god but Allah (swt).'" (the man) replied: "There is no god but Allah (swt)." Then He (sw) said: 'Say: O’ One who accepts the small and forgives the great, accept from me the small and forgive the great, for You are the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful.' (the man) said it, and then He asked him, 'What do you see?' (the man) replied: 'I see two dark figures approaching me.' He (sw) said
'Repeat the supplication.' So he repeated it, and He (sw) said: 'What do you see now?' (the man) replied: 'They have moved away from me, and two white figures have come in, and the dark figures have left. I no longer see them, and the white figures are now drawing close to me to take my soul.' The man then passed away thereafter.
347 - وَقَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «اُعْتُقِلَ لِسَانُ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ اَلْمَدِينَةِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فِي مَرَضِهِ اَلَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ «قُلْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اَللَّهُ » فَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ عَلَيْهِ فَأَعَادَ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ عَلَيْهِ وَ عِنْدَ رَأْسِ اَلرَّجُلِ اِمْرَأَةٌ فَقَالَ لَهَا «هَلْ لِهَذَا اَلرَّجُلِ أُمٌّ» فَقَالَتْ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ أَنَا أُمُّهُ فَقَالَ لَهَا «أَ فَرَاضِيَةٌ أَنْتِ عَنْهُ أَمْ لاَ» فَقَالَتْ لاَ بَلْ سَاخِطَةٌ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ «فَإِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَرْضَيْ عَنْهُ» فَقَالَتْ قَدْ رَضِيتُ عَنْهُ لِرِضَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ «قُلْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اَللَّهُ » فَقَالَ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اَللَّهُ فَقَالَ «قُلْ يَا مَنْ يَقْبَلُ اَلْيَسِيرَ وَ يَعْفُو عَنِ اَلْكَثِيرِ اِقْبَلْ مِنِّي اَلْيَسِيرَ وَ اُعْفُ عَنِّي اَلْكَثِيرَ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ اَلْعَفُوُّ اَلْغَفُورُ » فَقَالَهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ «مَا ذَا تَرَى» فَقَالَ أَرَى أَسْوَدَيْنِ قَدْ دَخَلاَ عَلَيَّ قَالَ «أَعِدْهَا» فَأَعَادَهَا فَقَالَ «مَا ذَا تَرَى» فَقَالَ قَدْ تَبَاعَدَا عَنِّي وَ دَخَلَ أَبْيَضَانِ وَ خَرَجَ اَلْأَسْوَدَانِ فَمَا أَرَاهُمَا وَ دَنَا اَلْأَبْيَضَانِ مِنِّي اَلْآنَ يَأْخُذَانِ بِنَفْسِي فَمَاتَ مِنْ سَاعَتِهِ.
