Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Preparing For Eternal Life Chapter One : Victory News Magazine Quoting Some Traditions of the Imams (A.S.) About Death Ameerul Momineen Ali [A.S.] said: "Three types of Tidings to the Dying Person" "When death is near, the Angel of Death gives three types of tiding to the dying man according to his actions (during his lifetime). These are: "The man who had done good deeds is informed of good news of Paradise, he is our friend and a man of action.

The evil doer is informed of Hell; he is our enemy and irreligious. "The man who has done both kinds of deeds, good as well as evil, is informed vaguely. Such a man of faith will certainly be punished, but he will not remain in Hell Fire for ever like our enemies." "For the faithful, death is the cause of rejoicing, because it relieves him from all worldly miseries and troubles, and takes him to a place of extreme peace and comfort, where it brings bad news for the infidels (non-believers).

[Sayyid, Hadi Husayn (1988).] Imam Hassan [A.S.] said: "Yes, get ready for your journey (towards Resurrection Day) and get your provisions before your death arrival" Janada bin umaiyyah says I visited Imam Hassan bin Ali bin Abu Talib during the ailment which caused his death.

I said: 'Oh Lord, why do you not get yourself treated?' He said, 'Oh Abdullah, with what may I treat death?' I said, 'Indeed we are from Allah and toward Him shall we go back', then he turned to me and said, 'By Allah, the Prophet of Allah [A.S] got us committed that twelve Imams would be the owners of this matter (Imamate) from the sons of Imam Ali [A.S.] and Fatimah [A.S.]. There is none of us but that he would be poisoned or slain. And then he [A.S.] admonished me'.

He said, "Yes, get ready for your journey (towards Resurrection Day) and get your provisions before your death arrival. And know it that you seek the world (material sources) and death is seeking you. Do not load the worry of the Day which had not yet come, upon your present day. And beware that you do not achieve and attain a wealth above your enemy but you are a trustee of it (wealth) for an other person.

And do know that there is account in it's lawful and permitted, and in it's prohibited lies punishment and retribution, and in it's paradox and doubtful there is reproof. "So, suppose the world as if it is a dead corpse (dirt). Take out of it which is sufficient for you. So if it is halal (lawful and legal) you have adopted piety and asceticism.
