142- عن أبان بن تغلب قال: سألت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام عن حق المؤمن على المؤمن، فقال: حق المؤمن أعظم من ذلك، لو حدثتكم به لكفرتم، إن المؤمن إذا خرج من قبره، خرج معه مثال من قبره، فيقول له: إبشر بالكرامة من ربك و السرور، فيقول له: بشرك الله بخير، ثم يمضي معه يبشره بمثل ذلك. ورواه عن غيره 5 قال: فإذا مر بهول، قال: ليس هذا لك، وإذا مر بخير قال: هذا لك، فلا يزال معه يؤمنه مما يخاف، ويبشره بما يحب، حتى يقف بين يدي الله عز وجل، فإذا امر به إلى الجنة، قال له المثال: إبشر بالجنة فان الله عز وجل قد أمر بك إلى الجنة، فيقول له: من أنت يرحمك الله، بشرتني حين خرجت من قبري وآنستني في طريقي وخبرتني عن ربي؟ فيقول: أنا السرور الذي كنت تدخله على إخوانك في الدنيا جعلت منه لأنصرك ، وأونس وحشتك
142. It has been related that Aban ibn Taghlib said: I asked Abu 'Abd Allah (a.s) concerning the right of a believer on a (fellow) believer. He said: The rights of a believer are not that simple. If I were to relate them to you, you would find yourselves neglectful concerning the religious duties. When a believer shall come forth from his grave, a form will emerge with him from his grave and say to him, 'Enjoy the honor and happiness of Allah; Allah gives you the glad tidings of goodness.' Then it shall go along with him giving him similar glad tidings along the way. According to another series of narrators, the Imam continued: When he comes to something terrifying, the form shall say, 'this is not for you,' and when it comes to something good, it shall say, 'this is for you.' Thus it will continue with him, comforting him from what he fears and giving him glad tidings of what he desires until it stands with him before Allah [M.G]. When he is instructed to enter Paradise, the form shall say to him, 'Enjoy Paradise, for Allah [M.G] has instructed you to enter it.' He shall say to it, 'Who are you? May Allah have mercy upon you, for you gave me glad tidings when I came forth from my grave and you accompanied me in my journey and have informed me of good news from my Lord.' 'I am the happiness that you brought to your (believing) brothers in the world,' it shall reply, 'I was made from that joy so that I may help you and offer you company in your loneliness.'
