“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) has said, ‘lightning does not affect the speaker (of Allah).’ I (the narrator) then asked, ‘Who is a speaker?’ The Imam said, ‘One who reads one hundred verses of the Holy Quran.’”

“About the case of a woman whose husband is absent when he dies, abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘She must count her waiting period from the day the news reaches her because she commences mourning for him.’”

“Abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘The only ones interrogated in the grave are those whose belief or disbelief is absolute and total.’”

“I once asked abu Ja‘far (a.s.), about a man who travels for al-Hajj. He has a camel with him and his supplies, but he dies on the way. He (the Imam) said, ‘If it was his first al-Hajj and has died in al-Haram (the sacred area), it is sufficient for Hajjahta al-Islam. If he dies, being his first al- Hajj, before assuming the state of Ihram, his camel, supplies and things with him are applied to his Hajjahta al-Islam, if anything is left extra it is for his heirs, if there is no loan on him.’ I then asked, ‘What happens if it was an optional al-Hajj and he dies on the way before assuming the state of Ihram, who will have his camel, and things with him?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘All things belonging to him go to his heirs, unless there is loan on him which is paid on his behalf or if his will says to give something to someone, in which case it is paid from one-third of his legacy.’”

I asked Abu Ja'far (as) about a man who set out for Hajj with his camel, provisions, and expenses, but died on the way. Imam (as) said: "If he was a ṣarūra (someone who had not performed the Hajj of Islam) and died within the haram, it suffices as the Hajj of Islam. If he died as a ṣarūra before entering into Ihram, his camel, provisions, expenses, and all that he had with him should be used to fulfill the Hajj of Islam on his behalf. If there is anything left over, it goes to his heirs, provided he had no debts." I asked: "What if the Hajj was voluntary, and he died on the way before entering into Ihram? What happens to his camel, expenses, and belongings?" Imam (as) said: "Everything he had and left behind goes to his heirs unless he had debts, in which case they are paid from his estate. If he left a will, it is carried out for the person he designated, with the will being fulfilled from one-third of his estate."
