Hadith 354
۞
Hadith.355 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said:
"No believer leaves this world except with contentment, for Allah (swt), Blessed and Exalted, lifts the veil for them until they see their place in Paradise and what Allah (swt) has prepared for them there. Then the world is shown to them as the best it could have been, and they are given the choice, so they choose what is with Allah (swt), Mighty and Glorious, and say,
'What do I need with the world and its trials?'
Therefore, instruct your dying with the Words of Relief (Kalimat E Faraj)."
Lā ilāha illā Allāh al-Ḥalīmu al-Karīm, lā ilāha illā Allāh al-‘Aliyyu al-‘Aẓīm.
Subḥāna Allāhi Rabbi al-samāwāti al-sab‘ wa Rabbi al-arāḍīna al-sab‘ wa mā fīhinna wa mā baynahunna wa mā taḥtahunna wa Rabbi al-‘arsh al-‘Aẓīm
355 - وَقَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «مَا يَخْرُجُ مُؤْمِنٌ عَنِ اَلدُّنْيَا إِلاَّ بِرِضاً مِنْهُ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ اَللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وتَعَالَى يَكْشِفُ لَهُ اَلْغِطَاءَ حَتَّى يَنْظُرَ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ مِنَ اَلْجَنَّةِ وَ مَا أَعَدَّ اَللَّهُ لَهُ فِيهَا وَ تُنْصَبُ لَهُ اَلدُّنْيَا كَأَحْسَنِ مَا كَانَتْ لَهُ ثُمَّ يُخَيَّرُ فَيَخْتَارُ مَا عِنْدَ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ يَقُولُ مَا أَصْنَعُ بِالدُّنْيَا وَ بَلاَئِهَا فَلَقِّنُوا مَوْتَاكُمْ كَلِمَاتِ اَلْفَرَجِ.
