Among the Concise Words of the Messenger of Allah (Peace Be Upon Him)

Al-Abbas ibn Bakkar Al-Dabbi narrated, saying: Muhammad ibn Sulayman Al-Kufi Al-Bazzaz narrated to us, saying: Amr ibn Khalid narrated from Zayd ibn Ali, from his father Imam Ali ibn Al-Hussain عليه السلام, from his father Imam Hussain ibn Ali عليه السلام, from his father Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said: "Whoever dies on Thursday after the sun has passed its zenith until the time of the sun's zenith on Friday, and was a believer, Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Majestic, will protect him from the squeezing of the grave and accept his intercession for people as numerous as the tribes of Rabiah and Mudar. Whoever dies on Saturday from among the believers, Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty and Majestic, will never gather him with the Jews in the Fire. Whoever dies on Sunday from among the believers, Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty and Majestic, will never gather him with the Christians in the Fire. Whoever dies on Monday from among the believers, Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty and Majestic, will never gather him with our enemies from Banu Umayyah in the Fire. Whoever dies on Tuesday from among the believers, Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty and Majestic, will gather him with us in the highest companionship. Whoever dies on Wednesday from among the believers, Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty and Majestic, will protect him from the misfortune of the Day of Judgment, bless him with His سبحانه وتعالى nearness, and place him in the abode of permanence by His سبحانه وتعالى grace, where no fatigue shall touch him, nor shall any exhaustion afflict him." Then Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام said: "The believer, in whatever state he dies and at whatever day or hour he passes away, is a truthful martyr. And indeed, I heard my beloved, the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, say: 'If a believer were to leave this world carrying sins equal to those of the people of the earth, death would be an expiation for those sins.'" Then Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام said: "Whoever says 'There is no God but Allah سبحانه وتعالى' with sincerity is free from polytheism, and whoever leaves this world without associating anything with Allah سبحانه وتعالى shall enter Paradise." Then Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام recited this verse: 'Indeed, Allah سبحانه وتعالى does not forgive associating partners with Him سبحانه وتعالى, but He سبحانه وتعالى forgives anything less than that for whom He سبحانه وتعالى wills - from among your followers and those who love you, O' Ali عليه السلام." (Surah An-Nisa 4:48) and (Surah An-Nisa 4:116) Then Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام said: "I asked: 'O' Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, is this for my followers?' Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said: "Yes, by my Lord عز وجل, it is for your followers (O' Ali عليه السلام). And indeed, they shall rise on the Day of Judgment from their graves saying: 'There is no God but Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم is the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام is the proof of Allah سبحانه وتعالى'. They will be given green garments from Paradise, crowns from Paradise, and tiaras from Paradise. Each one of them will wear a green garment, and the crown of sovereignty and the wreath of honor will be placed on his head. Then they will mount noble steeds from Paradise, and these will take them flying to Paradise.' They will not be grieved by the greatest terrors, and the angels will receive them, saying: 'This is your Day which you were promised.'"
