مَا مِنْ يَوْمٍ يَأْتِي عَلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلَّا قَالَ لَهُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ أَنَا يَوْمٌ جَدِيدٌ وَ أَنَا عَلَيْكَ شَهِيدٌ فَقُلْ فِيَّ خَيْراً وَ اعْمَلْ فِيَّ خَيْراً أَشْهَدْ لَكَ بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَإِنَّكَ لَنْ تَرَانِي بَعْدَهَا أَبَداً قَالَ وَ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ ع إِذَا أَمْسَى يَقُولُ مَرْحَباً بِاللَّيْلِ الْجَدِيدِ وَ الْكَاتِبِ الشَّهِيدِ اكْتُبَا عَلَى اسْمِ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ يَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ.
English translationMuhammad Sarwar
8. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ja’far ibn Muhammad al-Ash’ari from ibn al-Qaddah from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Each coming day says to the sons of Adam, ‘O son of Adam, I am a new day and a witness over you. Say good in me and do good deeds; I will testify for or against you on the Day of Judgment. You will never see me thereafter.’ The Imam said that Ali (a.s.) in the evening would say, ‘Welcome to the new night, and witnessing ascribe. Both of you write down in the name of Allah.’ Then he would speak of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy.’”
