Then he -asws sat at the end of it, so he -asws said: ‘O Uqba!

Then he -asws sat at the end of it, so he -asws said: ‘O Uqba!’ I said, ‘At your -asws service, and disposal!’ The Imam -asws said: ‘You only want to learn?’ I said, ‘Yes – O son -asws of Rasool-Allah -saww – but rather my Religion is with your -asws Religion. If my Religion goes, how (bad) that would be.

How would I be with you -asws – O son -asws of Rasool-Allah -saww – at that time?’ And I cried, so he -asws feared for me, he -asws said: ‘He sees both of them -asws , by Allah -azwj !’ I said, ‘May my father and my mother be sacrificed for you -asws , who both?’ He -asws said: ‘That is Rasool-Allah -saww , and Ali -asws – O Uqba – a soul of a Believer never dies ever until he sees them both -asws ’. قلت: فإذا نظر إليهما المؤمن، أ يرجع إلى الدنيا؟ فقال: «لا، يمضي أمامه، إذا نظر إليهما».

فقلت له: يقولان شيئا؟ قال: «نعم، يدخلان جميعا على المؤمن، فيجلس رسول الله (صلى الله عليه و آله) عند رأسه، و علي (عليه السلام) عند رجليه، فيكب عليه رسول الله (صلى الله عليه و آله)، فيقول: يا ولي- الله، أبشر، أنا رسول الله، إني خير لك مما تركت من الدنيا.

ثم ينهض رسول الله (صلى الله عليه و آله) فيقوم علي (عليه السلام) حتى يكب عليه، فيقول: يا ولي الله، أبشر أنا علي بن أبي طالب الذي كنت تحب أما لأنفعنك I said, ‘when the Believer looks at them -asws , does he return to the world?’ So he -asws said: ‘No! He passes away before it, when he looks at both of them -asws ’. I said to him -asws , ‘Do they both -asws say anything?’ He -asws said: ‘Yes! They both come up to the Believer together. Rasool-Allah -saww sits by his head, and Ali -asws by his feet.

So Rasool-Allah -saww addresses him saying: ‘O friend of Allah -azwj ! Receive good news, I -saww am Rasool-Allah -saww . I -saww am better for you than what you have left from the world’. Then Rasool-Allah -saww rises, so Ali -asws stands up until he -asws addresses him saying: ‘O friend of Allah -azwj ! Receive good news, I -asws am Ali -asws Bin Abu Talib -asws whom you used to love, and it would be of benefit for you’. ثم قال: «إن هذا في كتاب الله عز و جل».
