عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ أَرْوَاحِ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَقَالَ« فِي اَلْجَنَّةِ عَلَى صُوَرِ أَبْدَانِهِمْ لَوْ رَأَيْتَهُ لَقُلْتَ فُلاَنٌ».
Ali, from his father, from Ibn Abi Umair, from Hammad, from Abu Basir, said:
I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, about the souls of the believers. Imam عليه السلام said: "They are in Paradise in the form of their bodies. If you were to see one of them, you would say (recollecting), 'This is so-and-so.'"
