Hadith 1

em are from the children of Adam-as having been transferred into their images, so it is not allowed to eat the meat of the relatives’. He continued the lengthy Hadeeth up to he said, ‘Inform me about the lamp. When it is extinguished, where does it’s light go? ’ He-asws said: ‘It is gone and does not return’. He said, ‘So what makes you-asws deny that the human being could be like that when he dies and the soul separates from the body, it will not return to it, ever, just as the light of the lamp does not return to it, ever, when it is extinguished? ’
He-asws said: ‘Your analogy is not correct. The fire in the bodies is latent, and the bodies are standing with its assistance like the stone, and the iron. When one of them is struck with the other, a fire shines from between the two. A lamp borrows from it having the illumination for it. So the fire is affirmed in their bodies while the illumination goes, and the soul of a body is delicate, having worn a thick mould, and it isn’t at the status of the lamp which you mentioned. The One-azwj Who Created a foetus in the womb from clear water, and Installed in it different types of veins, and nerves, and teeth, and hair, and bones, and other than that, He-azwj will Revive it after it’s death and Return it after it’s annihilation’. He said, ‘So where is the soul? ’ He-asws said: ‘In the belly of the earth where is the lying place of the body up to the time of Resurrection’. He said, ‘The one who is crucified, where is his soul? ’ He-asws said: ‘In the palm of the Angel who had captured it, until he would return it to the earth’. He said, ‘Inform me about the soul, is it other than the blood? ’
He-asws said: ‘Yes. The soul is based upon what I-asws have described to you. It’s substance is from blood, and from the blood is the wetness of the body, and clearness of the colour, and beautiful sound, and frequency of laughter. When the blood freezes (coagulates), the soul separates from the body’. He said, ‘Can it be described with lightness and heaviness and weight? ’ He-asws said: ‘The soul is at the status of the wind in the alleyway. When it blows in it, the alleyway is filled up from it, but it neither increases in the weight of the alleyway, it’s permeation into it, nor does it reduce it, it’s exiting from it. Like that is the soul. There isn’t any heaviness for it nor any weight’. He said, ‘What is the essence of the wind? ’
He-asws said: ‘The wind is air. When it moves, it is named as wind. When it is calm, it is named as air, and by it is the foundation of the world, and if the wind were to be withheld for three days, it would spoil all things upon the surface of the earth, and stink, and that is because the rind is at the status of the fan, melting and repelling the spoilage away from all things and goodifying it. So it is at the status of the soul. When it exits from the body, the body stinks, and changes. So Blessed is Allah, the best of the Creators [23: 14]’. He said, ‘Does the soul vanish after it’s exit from its mould, or does it remain? ’
He-asws said: ‘But, it remain up to the time it is Blown into the Trumpet. During that, the things would be nullified and perish, so there will neither be any feeling, nor anything felt. Then the things would be returned just as they had begun by its Manager, and that is four hundred years. The creation would be in hibernation during it, and that is between the two Blowings (of the Trumpet)’. He said, ‘And how can there be the Resurrection for it and the body would have decayed, and the organs would have separated. An organ could be in a city having been eaten by its wild animals, and another organ could have been torn apart by its vermin, and an organ could have become soil, a wall having been built with it with the clay! ’
He-asws said: ‘The One-azwj Who Created him from without anything and Fashioned him upon without any example to have preceded, is Able upon Returning him, just as He-azwj had Begun him’. He said, ‘Clarify t
