Returning the Greetings of Salam
عَنْهُ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى الْأَرْمَنِيِّ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُلْوَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ لَمَّا قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَتَاهُمْ آتٍ فَوَقَفَ بِبَابِ الْبَيْتِ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذائِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ وَ إِنَّما تُوَفَّوْنَ أُجُورَكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ فَمَنْ زُحْزِحَ عَنِ النَّارِ وَ أُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَدْ فازَ وَ مَا الْحَياةُ الدُّنْيا إِلَّا مَتاعُ الْغُرُورِ
From him, from Salma, from Muhammad Bin Isa Al Armany, from Al Husayn Bin Ulwan, from Abdullah Bin Al waleed,
(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘When Rasool-Allah-saww passed away, a comer came to them-asws and paused by the door of the house. So he-as greeted them-asws, then said: ‘The greeting be upon you-asws, O Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww! [3:185] Every self shall taste the death, but rather you shall only be paid fully your Reward on the Day of Judgement; then whoever is removed far away from the Fire and is made to enter the Paradise he indeed has succeeded.
فِي اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ خَلَفٌ مِنْ كُلِّ هَالِكٍ وَ عَزَاءٌ مِنْ كُلِّ مُصِيبَةٍ وَ دَرَكٌ لِمَا فَاتَ فَبِاللَّهِ فَثِقُوا وَ عَلَيْهِ فَتَوَكَّلُوا وَ بِنَصْرِهِ لَكُمْ عِنْدَ الْمُصِيبَةِ فَارْضَوْا فَإِنَّمَا الْمُصَابُ مَنْ حُرِمَ الثَّوَابَ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ وَ لَمْ يَرَوْا أَحَداً
In the Presence of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic is a condolence from every difficulty (bereavement) and a replacement from every dying one, and a compensation for whatever is lost. Thus, on Allah-azwj you-asws should be trusting and upon Him-azwj should you-asws be relying and in His-azwj Help for you-asws during the difficulties, and be pleased, for the one in difficulty is the one who is deprived of the Rewards. And the greetings be upon you-asws, and His-azwj Mercy and His-azwj Blessings.
فَقَالَ بَعْضُ مَنْ فِي الْبَيْتِ هَذَا مَلَكٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَيْكُمْ لِيُعَزِّيَكُمْ وَ قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ هَذَا الْخَضِرُ ( عليه السلام ) جَاءَكُمْ يُعَزِّيكُمْ بِنَبِيِّكُمْ ( صلى الله عليه وآله )
So someone from the ones in the house said: ‘This is an Angel from the sky. Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Sent him to you-asws in order to console you-asws, and one of them said: ‘This is Khizr-as, coming to you-asws with condolences of your-asws Prophet-saww.[1]
