My father narrated to us. He said: `Ali b. Ibrahim narrated to us from his father from al-Husayn b. Yazid from Isma`il b. Muslim al-Sukuni from al-Sadiq Ja`far b. Muhammad from his father from his forefathers . He said:

`Ali said: There is not a day that comes by a son of Adam except that the day says to him: “O son of Adam! I am a new day, and I am a witness over you. So, say what is good and do what is good, and I will testify for you on the Day of Resurrection; for you will never see me again after it.”
