عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُثَيْمٍ النَّخَّاسِ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ مِنْكُمْ لَيَكُونُ فِي الْمَحَلَّةِ فَيَحْتَجُّ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى جِيرَانِهِ [بِهِ] فَيُقَالُ لَهُمْ أَ لَمْ يَكُنْ فُلَانٌ بَيْنَكُمْ أَ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا كَلَامَهُ أَ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا بُكَاءَهُ فِي اللَّيْلِ فَيَكُونُ حُجَّةَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ .

Translation

43. From him, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Usaym Al-Nakhaas, from Muawiya Bin Ammaar who said: ‘I heard Abu Abdullah (asws) saying that: ‘The man from among you lives in the neighbourhood. So Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic will Argue by him against his neighbours on the Day of Judgement. So He (azwj) will Say: “Was not so and so among you? Did you not hear his speech? Did you not hear his wailing during the night? So he will be the Argument of Allah (azwj) against them’.
