قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِذَا وُضِعَ الْمَيِّتُ فِي قَبْرِهِ مُثِّلَ لَهُ شَخْصٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا هَذَا كُنَّا ثَلَاثَةً كَانَ رِزْقَكَ فَانْقَطَعَ بِانْقِطَاعِ أَجَلِكَ وَ كَانَ أَهْلَكَ فَخَلَّفُوكَ وَ انْصَرَفُوا عَنْكَ وَ كُنْتُ عَمَلَكَ فَبَقِيتُ مَعَكَ أَمَا إِنِّي كُنْتُ أَهْوَنَ الثَّلَاثَةِ عَلَيْكَ.

14. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Muhammad ibn Ahmad al-Khurasaniy from his father who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘When a deceased person is placed in his grave, someone appears before him and says, “O so and so, there were three of us. One was your means of sustenance that is no more because of the coming of the time of your death. The other one was your family who left you and has returned home. I was your deeds and I have remained with you but I was the least important of the three before you?””
Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — attributed by Thaqalayn·The Arabic above is the original.
