قُلْتُ وَ هُوَ مَيِّتٌ هَلْ يَدْخُلُ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ حَتَّى يَكُونُ مَسْخُوطاً عَلَيْهِ فَيُغْفَرُ لَهُ أَوْ يَكُونُ مُضَيَّقاً عَلَيْهِ فَيُوَسَّعُ عَلَيْهِ قُلْتُ فَيَعْلَمُ هُوَ فِي مَكَانِهِ أَنَّ عَمَلَ ذَلِكَ لَحِقَهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ وَ إِنْ كَانَ نَاصِباً يَنْفَعُهُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ يُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُ I said, ‘And he is deceased, would that enter upon him?’ He -asws said: ‘Yes, to the extent that if he happens to be under Wrath, so it would be Forgiven for him, or if there happens to be a constriction upon him, so it would be Expanded upon him’.

I said, ‘So he, in his place, would know that, that deed was performed for his right?’ He -asws said: ‘Yes’. I said, ‘And even if he was a Nasibi (Hostile one), that would benefit him?’ He -asws said: ‘Yes. It (Punishment) would be Lightened from him’.

[2] Compilation of Ahadith on Mukhtar Al-Saqafi: فأدخل‏ منزله فأشار المختار على عمه أن يوثقه و يسير به إلى معاوية على أن يطعمه خراج جوحى سنة فأبى عليه و قال للمختار قبح الله رأيك أنا عامل أبيه و قد ائتمنني و شرفني و هبني بلاء أبيه‏ أ أنسى رسول الله ص و لا أحفظه في ابن ابنته و حبيبته. He -asws entered his house. Al-Mukhtar consulted to his uncle that he should bind/arrest him -asws and travel with him to Muawiya upon that he would give him the taxes of Jowha for a year.

But he refused to him and said to Al-Mukhtar, ‘May Allah -azwj Uglify your view! I am an office bearer of his -asws father -asws , and he -asws had entrusted me and ennobled me, and you want to give me the affliction of his -asws father -asws ?

Have you forgotten Rasool-Allah -saww and are not preserving him -saww regarding the son -asws of his -saww daughter -asws and his -saww beloved?’ ثم إن سعد بن مسعود أتاه ع بطبيب و قام عليه حتى برأ و حوله إلى بيض المدائن‏ Sa’ad Bin Masoud came to him -asws with a physician and stood upon him until he -asws was cured, and transferred him to Al-Madain.

و قد أجاب ع حجر بن عدي الكندي لما قال له سودت‏ وجوه المؤمنين فقال ع ما كل أحد يحب ما تحب و لا رأيه كرأيك و إنما فعلت ما فعلت إبقاء عليكم And he (Al-Hassan -asws ) had answered Hujr Bin Aday Al-Kindy when he had said to him, ‘You -asws have blackened the faces of the Momineen!’ He -asws said: ‘Everyone does not love what you love, nor does he view like your view, and rather I -asws did what I -asws did for the remaining (alive) to be upon you all’’.
