Imam Sadiq (a.s) narrated that God's Prophet (a.s) went to see a young fellow who was about to die. The Prophet (a.s) said
“Say there is no god but Allah.” The young man moved his tongue several times. The Prophet looked at a woman who was there and asked: “Where is this young man's mother?” She replied: “I am his mother.” The Prophet (a.s) said: “Are you angry with him?” She said: “Yes. I have not talked to him for six years.” The Prophet (a.s) said: “Forgive him.” She said: “May God be pleased with him due to your satisfaction, O' Prophet of God!” Then the Prophet told the young man: “Say there is no god but Allah.” The young man uttered these words. Then the Prophet asked: “What do you see?” He said: “I see an ugly, stinky black man who has surrounded me and is choking me now.” The Prophet (a.s) said: “Now say: “O' the One who accepts little deeds and forgives many sins! Please accept my little deeds and forgive my many sins. You are indeed the Forgiving and the Merciful.” The young man uttered these words. The Prophet then asked him what he sees. He said: “I see a well-dressed, beautiful, good-scented white man hugging me and the black man is walking away.” The Prophet asked him to repeat his prayer again, and he did. Then he said: “I no longer see the black man. I only see the white man who is hugging me.” Then he died.
عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
حضر رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) شابا عند وفاته، فقال له: قل لا إله إلا الله، فاعتقل لسانه مرارا، فقال: لامرأة عند رأسه: هل لهذا أم، قالت: نعم أنا أمه، فقال: فساخطة أنت عليه؟ قالت: نعم، ما كلمته منذ ست حجج، قال: أرضي عنه، فقالت: رضي الله عنه يا رسول الله برضاك عنه، فقال له رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): قل: لا إله إلا الله، فقالها، فقال: ما ترى؟ قال: أرى رجلا أسود قبيح المنظر منتن الريح قد وليني الساعة، فأخذ بكظمي فقال: قل: " يا من يقبل اليسير ويعفو عن الكثير، اقبل مني اليسير واعف عني الكثير، إنك أنت الغفور الرحيم " فقالها، فقال له: ما ترى؟ فقال: أرى رجلا أبيض حسن الثياب حسن الوجه طيب الريح قد وليني، وأرى الأسود قد نأى عني، قال: أعد، فأعاد، فقال: لست أرى الأسود وأرى الأبيض قد وليني، قال: فطفى على هذا الحال.
