Hadith 35

And from Juheyfa who said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww was in a journey in which slept until the sun emerged. Then he-saww said: ‘You all were dead, then Allah-azwj Returned your souls to you! ’’[52] (From a non-Shia source)
(The book) ‘Shahab Al Akhbar’ –
‘The souls are conscripted soldiers. Whatever they recognise from these, incline, and whatever from these deny, they differ’’. [53] (From a non-Shia source)
And in the (non-Shia) Hadeeth, ‘The souls of the martyrs are in the insides of green birds handing from the leaves of the Paradise. Then they shelter to lamps hanging with the Throne’’. [54] (From a non-Shia source)
And Ayesha has reported regarding the cause of this Hadeeth, ‘A hermaphrodite arrived at Al Medina. He descended (lodged) with a hermaphrodite, from without him knowing that he was a hermaphrodite. That reached the Prophet-saww. He-saww said: ‘The souls are conscripted soldiers’ – the Hadeeth’’. [55]
And it is reported from him-saww: ‘The souls are a conscripted soldiers, so they gang up like the ganging of the horses. Whatever they recognise from these, they get together, and whatever they deny from these, they differ. If a Momin were to come to a gather in which are one hundred hypocrites, there isn’t in it except for one Momin, he would come until he sits to (near) him’’. [56]
Or like what he said, ‘And it is reported from Ayesha, she said, ‘There was a woman in Makkah who used to enter to see the women of Quraysh to make them laugh. When she emigrated to Al Medina, she entered Al Medina. She went to see me. I said, ‘O So and so! What made you arrive? ’ She said, ‘To see you all’. I said, ‘Where have you descended? ’ She said, ‘Upon so and so woman, a comedienne in Al Medina’. Rasool-Allah-saww entered. I said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! So and so comedienne! ’ He-saww said: ‘Upon who has she descended’. I said, ‘Upon so and so’. He-saww said: ‘The comedienne? ’ I said, ‘Yes’. He-saww said: ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj! The souls are conscripted soldiers’ – the Hadeeth’’. [57]
(The book) ‘Shihab Al-Akhbar’ – ‘The Prophet-saww said: ‘The people are a mine like the mines of gold and silver’’. [58]
(The book) ‘Al Shihab’ – The people are like a hundred camels. You will not find among them one mount’’. [59]
He-saww said: ‘You will be finding the people from after me-as like one hundred camels. There wouldn’t be any mount in it’’. [60]
