5ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ عَمِّهِ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ الصَّلْتِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ بِنْتِ إِلْيَاسَ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ إِنَّ عَلِيَّ بن الحسين (عَلَيْهما السَّلام) لَمَّا حَضَرَتْهُ الْوَفَاةُ أُغْمِيَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَقَرَأَ إِذَا وَقَعَتِ الْوَاقِعَةُ وَإِنَّا فَتَحْنَا لَكَ وَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لله الَّذِي صَدَقَنَا وَعْدَهُ وَأَوْرَثَنَا الارْضَ نَتَبَوَّأُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ حَيْثُ نَشَاءُ فَنِعْمَ أَجْرُ الْعَامِلِينَ ثُمَّ قُبِضَ مِنْ سَاعَتِهِ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ شَيْئاً.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

5. Muhammad ibn Ahmad has narrated from his uncle, ‘Abdallah ibn al-Salt from al-Hassan ibn Ali ibn bint al-Yahya’s who has said the following. “I hear Abu al-Hassan عليه السلام say, ‘When Ali ibn al-Husayn عليه السلام was about to pass away he passed out then he opened his eyes and recited chapters 48 and 56 from the Holy Quran and said, “All praise belongs to Allah Who has fulfilled His promise to us and made us to inherit the earth passed out and chose from Paradise whatever we would like and thus is the reward for those who work. Within the hour he passed away and did not say anything.”
