The Chapter of Condolences and Grief During Calamities, Visiting Graves, Lamentation and Mourning Gatherings
وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ: «لاَ يَدْخُلُ اَلْجَنَّةَ رَجُلٌ لَيْسَ لَهُ فَرَطٌ» فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ لَمْ يُولَدْ لَهُ وَ لَمْ يُقَدِّمْ وَلَداً يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ أَ وَ لِكُلِّنَا فَرَطٌ فَقَالَ «نَعَمْ إِنَّ مِنْ فَرَطِ اَلرَّجُلِ اَلْمُؤْمِنِ أَخَاهُ فِي اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ.
The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said: "No one will enter Paradise unless they have a farat (one who goes ahead)." A man who had no children and had not lost any asked: "O’ Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, does everyone among us have a farat?" The Prophet replied: "Yes, among the farat of a believer is their brother in faith who preceded them (in death) for the sake of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted and Glorious."
