1 hadith
رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "مَا مِنْ مَيِّتٍ تَحْضُرُهُ اَلْوَفَاةُ إِلاَّ رَدَّ اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ سَمْعِهِ وَ بَصَرِهِ وَ عَقْلِهِ لِلْوَصِيَّةِ أَخَذَ اَلْوَصِيَّةَ أَوْ تَرَكَ وَ هِيَ اَلرَّاحَةُ اَلَّتِي يُقَالُ لَهَا رَاحَةُ اَلْمَوْتِ فَهِيَ حَقٌّ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ ".
Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr narrated from Hammad ibn Uthman who said that Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "There is no dying person approaching death except that Allah سبحانه وتعالى restores to him his hearing, sight, and intellect for the purpose of making a will - whether he chooses to make the will or not. This is the state referred to as the 'relief of death,' and it is a duty upon every Muslim."
