2. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Muhammad ibn Sulayman from his father from Sadir al-Sayrafiy who has said the following: “Once I said to abu ‘Abd Allah , ‘May Allah keep my soul in the service of your cause, O child of the Messenger of Allah, is a believing person forced to die?’ He said, ‘No, by Allah, but when the angel of death comes to take his soul away, he is frightened; and the angel of death then says to him, “O friend of Allah, do not be frightened. I swear by the One who has sent Muhammad, O Allah grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, I am more kind and caring to you than a kind-hearted father ready (to help). Open your eyes and look.’” He said, ‘Figures of the Messenger of Allah, ’Amir al-Mu’minin, Fatimah, al-Hassan and al-Husayn, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, and all ’A’immah, from their descendents appear before him, and it is said to him, “There are the Messenger of Allah, ’Amir al-Mu’minin, Ali, Fatimah, al-Hassan, al-Husayn and all ’A’immah, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, your friends.’” He (the Imam) then said, ‘He then opens his eyes, and looks and his soul is called by a caller from the Lord of Majesty saying, “O peaceful soul, [in the company of Muhammad and his family] come back to your Lord with pleasure [under the guardianship of Muhammad and his family] and pleased [with the rewards from your Lord]. Enter in the company of My servants [Muhammad and his family] in paradise.” There is then nothing more beloved to him than allowing his soul to go and join the caller.’”
