لَهُ ع اللَّهُ خَيْرٌ لِابْنِكَ مِنْكَ وَ ثَوَابُ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنْهُ فَبَلَغَهُ جَزَعُهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَعَادَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ قَدْ مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَ فَمَا لَكَ بِهِ أُسْوَةٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّهُ كَانَ مُرَاهِقاً فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّ أَمَامَهُ ثَلَاثَ خِصَالٍ شَهَادَةَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ رَحْمَةَ اللَّهِ وَ شَفَاعَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَلَنْ تَفُوتَهُ وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ.

Hadith.508 - The truthful one, Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as), offered condolences to a man who had lost his son and said to him: "Allah (swt) is better for your son than you are, and the reward from Allah (swt) is better for you than your son." Later, when the Imam heard of the man's continued grief, he returned to him and said: "The Messenger of Allah (sw) also passed away; do you not take him as an example?" The man responded that his son was on the verge of maturity (approaching adulthood). The Imam then said (consoling him): "There are three things ahead of him: the testimony that there is no god but Allah (swt), Allah’s (swt) mercy, and the intercession of the Messenger of Allah (sw). He will not miss out on any of these, if Allah (swt) the Almighty wills."
