4. From him (Sahl Ibn Ziyad) from Isma’il ibn Mehran from Durust ibn Abu Mansur al-Wasitiy from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar that ‘Abdul Rahim al-Qasir asked the Imam (as), "Does a deceased believing person visit his family?’". He replied, "Yes, he asks his Lord for permission; then by His permission with two angels he comes to his family in the form of some kind of a bird. He turns around his house and observes his family and hears whatever they say.’”
Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — attributed by Thaqalayn·The Arabic above is the original.
