وسئل الحسن بن علي بن محمد عليهم السلام عن الموت ما هو؟ فقال: هو التصديق بما لا يكون. حدثني أبي، عن أبيه، عن جده، عن الصادق عليه السلام قال: إن المؤمن إذا مات لم يكن ميتا فإن الميت هو الكفار، إن الله عز وجل يقول: " يخرج الحي من الميت ويخرج الميت من الحي " يعني المؤمن من الكافر والكافر من المؤمن.
10.	Hasan bin Ali bin Muhammed, peace be upon them, was asked about death: What is it? He said: It is credence to that which shall not be. I was told by my father, from his father, from his grandfather, from al-Sadiq, peace be upon him, that he said: Indeed, when a believer dies, he will not be dead, for indeed, the (one to become) dead is the disbeliever. Indeed, Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, says: «He brings out the living from the dead, and He brings out the dead from the living» (6:95). That means (that) the believer (is begotten) from the disbeliever, and the disbeliever (is begotten) from the believer.
