[17] السَّرَائِرُ، مِنْ كِتَابِ الْمَشِيخَةِ لِلْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَلَّادٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ سَمِعْنَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ يَنْبَغِي لِلْمَرِيضِ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يُؤَذِّنَ لِإِخْوَانِهِ بِمَرَضِهِ فَيَعُودُهُ فَيُؤْجَرُ فِيهِمْ وَ يُؤْجَرُونَ فِيهِ (The book) ‘Al Saraair’, from the book of the elders of Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Abu Wallad, from Abdullah Bin Sinan who said, ‘We heard Abu Abdullah -asws saying: ‘It is befitting for the sick from you that he proclaims to his brothers regarding his sickness so they can console him, so he would be Recompense regarding them, and they would be Recompense regarding him’.
قَالَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ نَعَمْ هُمْ يُؤْجَرُونَ لِمَشْيِهِمْ إِلَيْهِ فَهُوَ كَيْفَ يُؤْجَرُ فِيهِمْ He (the narrator) said, ‘It was said to him -asws , ‘Yes, they would be Recompense due to their having walked to him, but how come he would be Recompensed regarding them?’ قَالَ فَقَالَ بِاكْتِسَابِهِ لَهُمُ الْحَسَنَاتِ فَيُؤْجَرُ فِيهِمْ فَيُكْتَبُ لَهُ بِذَلِكَ حَسَنَةٌ وَ تُرْفَعُ لَهُ بِذَلِكَ عَشْرُ دَرَجَاتٍ وَ تُمْحَى عَنْهُ عَشْرُ سَيِّئَاتٍ He (the narrator) said: ‘He -asws said: ‘Due to his (facilitating) earning of the good deeds for them, so he would be Recompensed regarding them.
A good deed would be written for him due to that, and ten ranks would be raised for him due to that, and ten evil deeds would be deleted from him’.
قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع وَ يَنْبَغِي لِأَوْلِيَاءِ الْمَيِّتِ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يُؤْذِنُوا إِخْوَانَ الْمَيِّتِ بِمَوْتِهِ فَيَشْهَدُوا جَنَازَتَهُ وَ يُصَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَ يَسْتَغْفِرُوا لَهُ وَ يَكْتَسِبَ لَهُمُ الْأَجْرَ وَ يَكْتَسِبَ لِمَيِّتِهِ الِاسْتِغْفَارَ وَ يَكْتَسِبَ هُوَ الْأَجْرَ فِيهِمْ وَ فِيمَا اكْتَسَبَ لِمَيِّتِهِ مِنَ الِاسْتِغْفَارِ.
He (the narrator) said, ‘Then Abu Abdullah -asws said: ‘And it is befitting for the guardians of the deceased that they proclaim to the brothers of the deceased of his death, so they can attend his funeral, and pray Salat upon him, and seek Forgiveness for him, and earn the Recompense for them, and the seeking of the Forgiveness would be earned for his deceased, and he would be earning the Recompense regarding them, and regarding what he had earned for his deceased of seeking the Forgiveness’’.
