1776 - صُعودُ روحِ المُومِنِ عِندَ النَّومِ إلَى السَّماءِ

1776. THE ASCENSION OF SPIRITS TO THE SKY DURING SLEEP

6290.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : لا يَنامُ المُسلمُ وهُو جُنُبٌ ، ولا يَنامُ إلّا على‏ طَهورٍ ، فإن لَم يَجِدِ الماءَ فلْيَتَيمَّمْ بالصَّعيدِ ؛ فإنَّ رُوحَ المُؤمنِ تَروحُ إلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّوجلَّ فَيَلقاها ويُبارِكُ علَيها ، فإن كانَ أجَلُها قَد حَضَرَ جَعَلَها في مَكنونِ رَحمَتِهِ ، وإن لَم يَكُن أجَلُها قَد حَضَرَ بَعَثَ بِها مَعَ اُمَنائهِ مِن مَلائكَتهِ فيَرُدُّوها في جَسَدِهِ .¹

6290.Imam Ali (AS) said, 'A Muslim will not sleep while in a state of ritual impurity (janaba), and he should not sleep without being in a state of purity. If he does not find water then he should perform dry ablution (tayammum) with soil, for the spirit of a believer ascends to Allah Almighty and He meets it and blesses it. If his time of death was to have come when in a state [of purity], He places his spirit within the folds of His Mercy, and if his end has not come He sends it back [i.e. his spirit] with His guardian angels and they return it to his body.' ²
