The people would be aggrieved but you all would have no sorrow and while the people would yet be involved in accounting, dinner would be laid out for you all.”[^2] Second : We can refer to a tradition mentioned in Usool Kafi , in the chapter of the rights of a believer on his brother through his own chain of narrators from Isa bin Abi Mansoor that he said: I, Ibne Ya’fur and Abdullah bin Talha were present in the gathering of Abu Abdillah and His Eminence (aj) himself initiated the conversation saying: “O Ibne Abi Ya’fur the Messenger of Allah (S) has said: There are six qualities, such that if they are present in a person, he shall have the best position with Allah Almighty.” Ibne Abi Ya’fur asked: “May I be sacrificed on you, what are those traits?” The Imam said: “A believer should like for his believer brother that which he likes for the nearest of his kin and he should dislike for the believers the same which he dislikes for his closest relatives and he should express pure love.” Hearing this Ibne Abi Ya’fur began to weep and said: How is that?

He replied: “If these three traits are present in you he shall reveal his secret and shall be pleased with the happiness of one that is happy. And he shall be sorrowful with the grief of one that is sorrowful. If he does not have anything to make him happy with, he shall pray to God for him.” Then His Eminence said: “These three traits are for you people and another three are for us.

The first is that you must recognize our excellence, secondly you must follow in our footsteps, thirdly you must await for our rule (kingdom) which shall be at the end of the world. The one in whom these three traits are present shall be proximate to the realm of the Almighty. Those who belong to ranks lower than him shall obtain light from effulgence of those who are in the position of proximity with the Almighty.

When those in the lower ranks see him they shall not like their present comfort and pleasure in comparison to those who are above them in ranks.” Ibne Abi Ya’fur asked, “Why would it not be possible to see the group of people who are having divine proximity.” Imam replied, “They shall be covered with divine effulgence.

Have you not heard that tradition of the Messenger of Allah (S) that there are creations of Almighty Allah to the right of the Arsh whose faces shall be whiter than snow and more brilliant than the sun? An inquirer will ask: Who are they?
