370 - وَقَالَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «إِنَّ اَلْعَبْدَ إِذَا كَانَ فِي آخِرِ يَوْمٍ مِنَ اَلدُّنْيَا وَ أَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ مِنَ اَلْآخِرَةِ مُثِّلَ لَهُ مَالُهُ وَ وُلْدُهُ وَ عَمَلُهُ فَيَلْتَفِتُ إِلَى مَالِهِ وَ يَقُولُ وَ اَللَّهِ إِنِّي كُنْتُ عَلَيْكَ لَحَرِيصاً شَحِيحاً فَمَا ذَا عِنْدَكَ فَيَقُولُ خُذْ مِنِّي كَفَنَكَ فَيَلْتَفِتُ إِلَى وُلْدِهِ فَيَقُولُ وَ اَللَّهِ إِنِّي كُنْتُ لَكُمْ مُحِبّاً وَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ لَمُحَامِياً فَمَا ذَا عِنْدَكُمْ فَيَقُولُونَ نُؤَدِّيكَ إِلَى حُفْرَتِكَ وَ نُوَارِيكَ فِيهَا فَيَلْتَفِتُ إِلَى عَمَلِهِ فَيَقُولُ وَ اَللَّهِ إِنَّكَ كُنْتَ عَلَيَّ لَثَقِيلاً وَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ فِيكَ لَزَاهِداً فَمَا ذَا عِنْدَكَ فَيَقُولُ أَنَا قَرِينُكَ فِي قَبْرِكَ وَ يَوْمِ حَشْرِكَ حَتَّى أُعْرَضَ أَنَا وَ أَنْتَ عَلَى رَبِّكَ.
Hadith.370 - The Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib said:
"When a servant is in their last day of this world and their first day of the Hereafter, their wealth, children, and deeds are presented before them.
They turn to their wealth and say, 'By Allah (swt), I was extremely attached and miserly with you; what do you have for me now?'
It (wealth) replies, 'Take your shroud from me.'
Then they turn to their children and say, 'By Allah (swt), I loved you and I was protective over you; what do you have for me now?'
They (children) respond, 'We will carry you to your grave and bury you in it.'
Then they turn to their deeds and say, 'By Allah (swt), you were burdensome upon me, and I was reluctant toward you; what do you have for me now?'
It (deeds) replies, 'I am your companion in your grave and on the Day of Resurrection until you and I are presented before your Lord (azj).'".
