Imam Baqir (a.s) narrated that a young Jew used to come to see God's Prophet (a.s) often. The Prophet noted that he was very agile, so he sometimes assigned him to do things or deliver a letter to some tribes. Once the Prophet asked about him. He was told that the
man was near his death. The Prophet went to visit him along with some of his companions. The Prophet was such a blessing that anyone he talked to would respond to him. The Prophet (a.s) said: “O' young fellow!” The young man opened his eyes and said, “Hello to you father of Ghasim.” The Prophet (a.s) said: “Say I witness to the unity of God, and that you are Muhammad, the Prophet of God.” The young man looked at his father and said nothing. The Prophet reiterated what he had said and the young fellow did the same thing again. The Prophet repeated his words for the third time, but this time when the young man looked at his father, his father said: “It’s up to you to say it or not.” The man said: “I witness that there is no god but Allah, and you are Muhammad the Prophet of God” and then died. The Prophet asked his father to go out, and asked his companions to wash the dead man, and to prepare his body to be prayed upon and buried. Then he left and said: “Thank God that He saved a man from Hell through me today.”
عن أبي جعفر (عليه السلام) قال
كان غلام من اليهود يأتي رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) كثيرا حتى استخفه، وربما أرسله في حاجة وربما كتب له الكتاب إلى قوم فافتقده أياما فسأل عنه، فقال قائل: تركته في آخر يوم من أيام الدنيا، فأتاه النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله) في ناس من أصحابه وكان (صلى الله عليه وآله) بركة لا يكاد يكلم أحدا إلا أجابه، فقال: يا فلان، ففتح عينه، فقال: لبيك يا أبا القاسم، فقال: إشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وأني رسول الله، فنظر الغلام إلى أبيه فلم يقل له شيئا، ثم ناداه رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) الثانية وقال له مثل قوله الأول، فالتفت الغلام إلى أبيه فلم يقل له شيئا، ثم ناداه رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) الثالثة فالتفت الغلام إلى أبيه، فقال أبوه: إن شئت فقل وإن شئت فلا، فقال الغلام: أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وأنك رسول الله، ومات مكانه، فقال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) لأبيه: اخرج عنا، ثم قال لأصحابه: غسلوه وكفنوه وآتوني به أصلي عليه، ثم خرج وهو يقول: الحمد لله الذي أنجا بي اليوم نسمة من النار.
