وَ بِهَذَا اَلْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمَّادٍ وَ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ جَمِيعاً عَنِ اَلْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَائِذٍ عَنْ أَبِي خَدِيجَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« لَيْسَ مِنْ مَيِّتٍ يَمُوتُ وَ يُتْرَكُ وَحْدَهُ إِلاَّ لَعِبَ اَلشَّيْطَانُ فِي جَوْفِهِ».
And through this chain of transmission, from Muhammad bin Ya’qub, from Ali bin Muhammad, from Salih bin Abi Hammad and Al-Husayn bin Muhammad, from Mu’alla bin Muhammad, all from Al-Washsha’, from Ahmad bin A’idh, from Abu Khadijah, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام:
Imam عليه السلام said: "No deceased person who dies and is left alone is spared from Satan playing within his body."
