42. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ah ibn Asbat who in a marfu’ manner has said the following: “During an unfortunate occasion abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), would say, ‘I praise Allah who has not caused any suffering in my religion. I praise Allah who could have made my misfortune greater than this if He so wished. I praise Allah for the fact which if He wanted to come into existence, it would come into being.’”

43. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Nadr ibn al-Suwayd, from al-Qasim ibn Sulayman from ‘Abd al-Hamid ibn abu Ja‘far al-Farra’ who has said the following: “Once, one of the teeth of abu Ja‘far (a.s.), came off. He placed it on his palm and then said, ‘All praise belongs to Allah.’ Then he said, ‘O Ja‘far, when I die and you bury me, bury this also with me.’ After a while another tooth came off. He placed it on his palm and said, ‘All praise belongs to Allah. O Ja‘far, when I die, then bury this with me.’”

44. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Bakr ibn Muhammad al-Azdiy who has said the following: “This is about the words of Allah, ‘Death from which you run away will take your life and then you will be returned to the One who knows the unseen and seen. He, then will inform you of what you have done.’ (62:6) Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that you count years, then the months, then days, then hours and then each breath. When their time comes it will do so without allowing them to live one hour thereafter or die one hour before.’” (7:33)

45. A number of our companions narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad, from Ja'far ibn Muhammad, from Ibn al-Qaddah, from Abu 'Abdullah (AS), who said: The Prophet (sw) heard a woman when 'Uthman ibn Maz'un died, saying, "Congratulations to you, O Abu al-Sa'ib, for the Paradise." The Prophet (sw) said, "How do you know? It is enough for you to say: He loved Allah, the Almighty, and His Messenger." When Ibrahim, the son of the Messenger of Allah (sw), passed away, the eyes of the Messenger of Allah (sw) overflowed with tears, and then the Prophet (sw) said, "The eyes shed tears, and the heart grieves, but we do not say what displeases the Lord. Indeed, O Ibrahim, we are truly grieved by your departure." Then the Prophet (sw) saw a gap in his grave and leveled it with his hand, saying, "When any of you does something, let him do it with excellence." Then he said, "Join (O Ibrahim) your righteous predecessor, 'Uthman ibn Maz'un."
