[1] MERITS عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَا تَمَلُّوا مِنْ قِرَاءَةِ إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ زِلْزَالَهَا فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ كَانَتْ قِرَاءَتُهُ بِهَا فِي نَوَافِلِهِ لَمْ يُصِبْهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِزَلْزَلَةٍ أَبَداً وَ لَمْ يَمُتْ بِهَا وَ لَا بِصَاعِقَةٍ وَ لَا بِآفَةٍ مِنْ آفَاتِ الدُّنْيَا حَتَّى يَمُوتَ Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ali Bin Ma’bad, from his father, from the one who mentioned it, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah -asws having said: ‘Do not be frustrated from the recitation of: When the earth is shaken with its earthquake [99:1] (Surah Al Zalzala), for the one who was reciting with it in his Optional ( Salāt ), Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic would not Hit him by an earthquake, ever, and he would not die due to it, nor by a thunderbolt, nor by a calamity from the calamities of the world until he dies.

وَ إِذَا مَاتَ نَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ مَلَكٌ كَرِيمٌ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَبِّهِ فَيَقْعُدُ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ فَيَقُولُ يَا مَلَكَ الْمَوْتِ ارْفُقْ بِوَلِيِّ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ كَثِيراً مَا يَذْكُرُنِي وَ يَذْكُرُ تِلَاوَةَ هَذِهِ السُّورَةِ And when he does die, a benevolent Angel would descend upon him from the Presence of his Lord -azwj and sit by his head, and he would be saying: ‘O Angel of death!

وَ تَقُولُ لَهُ السُّورَةُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ وَ يَقُولُ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ قَدْ أَمَرَنِي رَبِّي أَنْ أَسْمَعَ لَهُ وَ أُطِيعَ وَ لَا أُخْرِجَ رُوحَهُ حَتَّى يَأْمُرَنِي بِذَلِكَ فَإِذَا أَمَرَنِي أَخْرَجْتُ رُوحَهُ And the Chapter (Sarah Al Zalzala) would say to him similar to that, and the Angel of death would be saying: ‘My Lord -azwj has already Commanded me that I should listen to him and obey, and not extract his soul until he instructs me with that.

So, when he does instruct me, (only then) I shall extract his soul’. وَ لَا يَزَالُ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ عِنْدَهُ حَتَّى يَأْمُرَهُ بِقَبْضِ رُوحِهِ وَ إِذَا كُشِفَ لَهُ الْغِطَاءُ فَيَرَى مَنَازِلَهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَيُخْرِجُ رُوحَهُ مِنْ أَلْيَنِ مَا يَكُونُ مِنَ الْعِلَاجِ ثُمَّ يُشَيِّعُ رُوحَهُ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ يَبْتَدِرُونَ بِهَا إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ And the Angel of death would not cease to be in his presence until he instructs him with the extraction of his own soul.
