Hadith 542
۞
Hadith.542 - Ishaq ibn Ammar asked Abu Al-Hasan al-Awwal, Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim (as) about whether a believer visits their family (after death).
Imam (as) replied: "Yes." He (Ishaq) asked: ‘How often?’
The Imam said: "It depends on their level of virtue; some visit every day, some every two days, and some every three days."
He then noted, "The least frequent among them visit once a week."
He (Ishaq) then asked Him: "At what time?"
Imam (as) replied: "At the time of the sun's decline (midday) or just before that. Allah (swt) sends with them an angel who shows them what pleases them and conceals from them what they dislike, so they see joy and return to a state of contentment”.
542 - وَ سَأَلَ إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ اَلْأَوَّلَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنِ اَلْمُؤْمِنِ يَزُورُ أَهْلَهُ فَقَالَ
«نَعَمْ» قَالَ فِي كَمْ فَقَالَ «عَلَى قَدْرِ فَضَائِلِهِمْ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَزُورُ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَزُورُ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمَيْنِ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَزُورُ فِي كُلِّ ثَلاَثَةِ أَيَّامٍ» قَالَ ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُ فِي مَجْرَى كَلاَمِهِ أَنَّهُ يَقُولُ «أَدْنَاهُمْ جُمْعَةً » فَقَالَ لَهُ فِي أَيِّ سَاعَةٍ قَالَ «عِنْدَ زَوَالِ اَلشَّمْسِ أَوْ قُبَيْلَ ذَلِكَ فَيَبْعَثُ اَللَّهُ مَعَهُ مَلَكاً يُرِيهِ مَا يَسُرُّ بِهِ وَ يَسْتُرُ عَنْهُ مَا يَكْرَهُهُ فَيَرَى سُرُوراً وَ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى قُرَّةِ عَيْنٍ.
