To Please the Believers — report 10

10. Abu Ali al-Ash’ari has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from al- Hassan ibn Ali ibn Faddal from Mansur from ‘Ammar ibn abu al-Yaqzan from Aban ibn Taghlib who has said the following: “Once I asked Abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام about the rights of a believer on another believer. He has said that the Imam said, ‘The right of a believer on a believer is greater than that (description). If I tell you about it you will become unbelievers. When a believer comes out of his grave a form comes out with him and says, “There is good news of honor and happiness for you from Allah.” He then says to the form, ‘May Allah give you good news.’ He then moves with him and gives him good news as before and as they come across a frightening scene of the Day of Judgment the form says this is not against you. As they come across a good thing the form says this is for you. The form remains with him, giving him comfort and good news of what he loves until it stands with him before Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, where He orders for him to be taken to paradise. The form says to him, ‘Good news for you; Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, has ordered that you be admitted in paradise. ’ “The Imam said, ‘He asks, “Who are you, may Allah grant you favors? You have been giving me good news from the time you came out with me from my grave. On the way you have been giving me comfort and informed me of the decision of my Lord?’” The form then says, ‘I am the joy that you had sent to the heart of your believing brothers (in belief) in the worldly life. I was created from it to give you good news and comfort you in frightening conditions.”’ Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal a similar Hadith.
