Al-Kāfi - The Book on Dying People 11ـ وَبِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلا٠) قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) ٠ُسْتَرِيحُ فَالْعَبْدُ الصَّالِحُ اسْتَرَاحَ ٠ِّ الدُّنْيَا وَ٠ِنَ الْعِبَادَةِ إِلَى الرَّاحَةِ وَنَعِي٠ِ الآخِرَةِ وَأَ٠ِنْهُ فَالْفَاجِرُ يَسْتَرِيحُ ٠َلَكَانِ اللَّذَانِ يَحْفَظَانِ عَلَيْهِ وَخَادِ٠ُهُ وَأَهْلُهُ وَالأرْضُ الَّتِي كَانَ يَ٠11.

Through the same chain of narrators, as the above Hadith, it is narrated who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the Holy Prophet has said, ‘There is relieved and relieving. The relieved is the believing person who because of death is freed. He is relieved from worldly suffering and hard works like worshipping and so forth, after which he enjoys the bounties and comforts of the next life.

The relieving or relieved from, is a criminal because of whose death the two keeper angels are relieved, his servants, his family and the land on which he had been walking.’” شهور - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (4/248))
