صفوان عن أبي بصير عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال: ما بين أحدكم وبين أن يرى ما تقر به عينه الا ان تبلغ نفسه هذه فيأتيه ملك الموت فيقول: أما ما كنت تطمع فيه من الدنيا فقد فاتك فاما ما كنت تطمع فيه من الآخرة فقد أشرفت عليه وامامك سلف صدق رسول الله وعلى وإبراهيم.
10.Ṣafwān narrated from Abū Baṣīr, from Abū Jaʿfar  who said, “Nothing stands between any one of you and seeing that which would bring him delight except his soul reaching here (i.e. the throat). The Angel of Death will come to him and say, ‘As for that which you used to desire in the world, it has escaped you; but as for what you used to desire of the Hereafter, you are now on the verge of it, and in front of you are the forebears of truth: the Messenger of Allah, ʿAlī and Ibrāhīm (peace be upon them all).’”
