و عنه: عن علي بن محمد بن علي بن سعد الأشعري، عن حمدان بن يحيى، عن بشير بن حبيب، عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام)، أنه سئل عن قول الله عز و جل: وَ بَيْنَهُما حِجابٌ وَ عَلَى الْأَعْرافِ رِجالٌ. قال: «سور بين الجنة و النار، عليه محمد (صلى الله عليه و آله) و علي و الحسن و الحسين و فاطمة و خديجة الكبرى (عليهم السلام)، فينادون: اين محبونا؟ أين شيعتنا؟ فيقبلون إليهم، فيعرفونهم بأسمائهم و أسماء آبائهم، و ذلك‏ قوله عز و جل: يَعْرِفُونَ كُلًّا بِسِيماهُمْ فيأخذون بأيديهم فيجوزون بهم الصراط و يدخلونهم الجنة

And upon the heights would be men recognising all by their marks [7:46], (having) said: ‘A wall between the Paradise and the Fire, upon which would be Muhammad-saww, and Ali-asws, and Al-Hassan-asws, and Al-Husayn-asws, and Fatima-asws, and Khadeeja-asws. So they-asws would be calling out: ‘Where are those that love us-asws? Where are our-asws Shiah?’ So they would be brought in front of them-asws, and they would recognise them by their marks, and the names of their fathers. And these are the Words of the Mighty and Majestic: recognising all by their marks. So they-asws would be grabbing them by their hands, and crossing the Bridge with them, and entering them into the Paradise’.[1]
