وبهذا الاسناد، عن الحسن بن علي عليهما السلام قال:
دخل علي بن محمد عليهما السلام على مريض من أصحابه وهو يبكي ويجزع من الموت فقال له: يا عبد الله تخاف من الموت لأنك لا تعرفه، أرأيتك إذا اتسخت وتقذرت وتأذيت من كثرة القذر والوسخ عليك و أصابك قروح وجرب وعلمت أن الغسل في حمام يزيل ذلك كله أما تريد أن تدخله فتغسل ذلك عنك أو ما تكره أن لا تدخله فيبقى ذلك عليك؟ قال: بلى يا ابن رسول الله. قال: فذاك الموت هو ذلك الحمام وهو آخر ما بقي عليك من تمحيص ذنوبك وتنقيتك من سيئاتك فإذا أنت وردت عليه وجاوزته فقد نجوت من كل غم وهم وأذى، ووصلت إلى كل سرور وفرح، فسكن الرجل واستسلم ونشط وغمض عين نفسه ومضى لسبيله.
9. With this chain of narrators, from Hasan bin Ali, peace be upon them both, that he said:
Ali bin Muhammed, peace be upon them both, entered into the place of a diseased from his companions while he was weeping and frightened, so he said to him: O servant of Allah, you are fearing death because you do not know it. Have you seen yourself, if you were to become dirty, filthy and harmed from the much filth and dirtiness upon you, and you would be afflicted with ulcer and scabbiness, and you would know that washing in a bath will remove all that, would you not want to enter it and wash that from yourself? Would you not dislike that you do not enter it, by which that remains on you? He said: Sure, O son of Allah’s Messenger. He said: That is death. It is that bath and it is the last that remains upon you of purification from your sins and the cleaning of you from your misdeeds. Hence, if you approach it and cross it, you would certainly be saved from every sorrow, concern and pain, and you would reach to every joy and happiness. Then the man calmed, submitted, became excited, closed the eye of himself and went to his path.
