22ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ دَاوُدَ الْعِجْلِيِّ مَوْلَى أَبِي الْمَغْرَاءِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) يَقُولُ ثَلاَثٌ أُعْطِينَ سَمْعَ الْخَلاَئِقِ الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ وَالْحُورُ الْعِينُ فَإِذَا صَلَّى الْعَبْدُ وَقَالَ اللهمَّ أَعْتِقْنِي مِنَ النَّارِ وَأَدْخِلْنِي الْجَنَّةَ وَزَوِّجْنِي مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ قَالَتِ النَّارُ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّ عَبْدَكَ قَدْ سَأَلَكَ أَنْ تُعْتِقَهُ مِنِّي فَأَعْتِقْهُ وَقَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّ عَبْدَكَ قَدْ سَأَلَكَ إِيَّايَ فَأَسْكِنْهُ فِيَّ وَقَالَتِ الْحُورُ الْعِينُ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّ عَبْدَكَ قَدْ خَطَبَنَا إِلَيْكَ فَزَوِّجْهُ مِنَّا فَإِنْ هُوَ انْصَرَفَ مِنْ صَلاَتِهِ وَلَمْ يَسْأَلِ الله شَيْئاً مِنْ هَذِهِ قُلْنَ الْحُورُ الْعِينُ إِنَّ هَذَا الْعَبْدَ فِينَا لَزَاهِدٌ وَقَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ إِنَّ هَذَا الْعَبْدَ فِيَّ لَزَاهِدٌ وَقَالَتِ النَّارُ إِنَّ هَذَا الْعَبْدَ فِيَّ لَجَاهِلٌ.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
22. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Dawud al-‘Ijliy Mawla’ of abu al- Mighra’ who has said the following: “I heard abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام , say, ‘Three things are given the power to hear creatures. They are paradise, the fire and al-Hur al-‘Ayn. When a servant of Allah completes his Salah (prayer) then pleads and says, “O Lord, set me free from the fire, admit me in paradise and join me as a pair with al-Hur al-‘Ayn.” The fire then says, “O Lord, Your servant has pleaded before You to set him free from me, so please set him free.” Paradise will say, “O Lord, Your servant has prayed to You to make me his dwelling so please make his wish to come true.” Al-Hur al-‘Ayn will say, “O Lord, Your servant has prayed to be joined in pairs with us so please make his wish to come true.” But if he goes away after completing his Salah (prayer) without praying to Allah for any of these things, al-Hur al-‘Ayn will say, “This servant of Allah has abstained from being joined in pairs with us.” Paradise will say, “This servant has abstained from praying to live in me.” The fire will say, “This servant is ignorant about me.’””
