38ـ رسولُ اللهِِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): اِحضَروا مَوتاكُم ولَقِّنوهُم «لا إلهَ إلّا اللّهُ» وبَشِّروهُم بالجَنَّةِ، فإنّ الحَليمَ مِن الرِّجالِ والنِّساءِ يَتَحَيّرُ عندَ ذلكَ المَصرَعِ، وإنّ الشّيطانَ أقرَبُ ما يكونُ مِن ابنِ آدمَ عندَ ذلكَ المَصرَعِ . والّذي نَفسي بيَدِهِ ! لَمُعايَنةُ مَلَكِ المَوتِ أشَدُّ مِن ألفِ ضَربَةٍ بالسَّيفِ . والّذي نَفسي بيَدِهِ ! لا تَخرُجُ نَفسُ عَبدٍ مِن الدّنيا حتّى يَتَألَّمَ كُلُّ عِرقٍ مِنهُ على حِيالهِ. |
| 38– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Attend to the people who are about to die and dictate to them [the phrase]: La ilaha illallah (There is no god but Allah), and give them glad tidings of Heaven, for even the most forbearant of men and women become perplexed at that instant, and Satan comes as close as he can get to the children of Adam in that state. By He who owns my soul! Seeing the angel of death is more severe than being hit one thousand times by a sword. By He who owns my soul! The soul of a servant will not exit from the world until every vein in him feels pain.’[Kanz al-`Ummal, no. 42158] |

39ـ رسولُ اللهِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): لو أنّ البَهائمَ يَعلَمْنَ مِن المَوتِ ما تَعلَمونَ أنتُم، ما أكَلتُم مِنها سَميناً! |
| 39– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘If the animals knew about death what you know, you would never be able to eat the fat of them [due to their abstinence from the world].’[Amali al-Saduq, p. 453, no. 1011] |

40ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إنّ للمَوتِ لَغَمَراتٍ هِيَ أفظَعُ مِن أن تُستَغرَقَ بصِفَةٍ، أو تَعتَدِلَ على عُقولِ أهلِ الدّنيا. |
| 40– Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Death has difficulties that are more terrible than can ever be described or be comprehended by the intellects of the people of the world.’[Nahj al-Balagha, Saying 221] |
