Arabic text

3 - حدثنا محمد بن علي (رحمه الله)، قال: حدثني عمي محمد بن أبي القاسم، قال: حدثنا هارون بن مسلم، عن مسعدة بن زياد، عن الصادق جعفر بن محمد، عن أبيه، عن آبائه (عليهم السلام) قال: قال علي (عليه السلام): إن للمرء المسلم ثلاثة أخلاء: فخليل يقول له: أنا معك حيا وميتا، وهو عمله، وخليل يقول له: أنا معك حتى تموت، وهو ماله، فإذا مات صار للورثة، وخليل يقول له: أنا معك إلى باب قبرك ثم أخليك، وهو ولده (2).

Translation

Muhammad b. `Ali (rh) narrated to us. He said: My uncle Muhammad b. Abi’l Qasim narrated to me. He said: Harun b. Muslim narrated to us from Mas`ada b. Ziyad from al-Sadiq Ja`far b. Muhammad form his father from his forefathers (as). He said: `Ali (as) said: Surely, a Muslim person has three friends: (1) A friend that says to him: “I am with you, alive and dead” – that is his deeds. (2) A friend that says to him: “I am with you until you die” – that is his wealth, for when he dies, it is given in inheritance. (3) A friend that says to him: “I am with you until the gateway of your grave, then I will leave you” – that is his child.
