Hadith 199

‘Tafseer Imam (Hassan Al-Askari-asws) – ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘I-saww wonder at the Momin servant from the Shias of Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws, that he is helped in the word against his enemies, so there has been gathered for him the good of the two Houses (world and the Hereafter), and that whatever he had been Tried with in the world has been hoarded for him in the Hereafter, what does not happen to a comparison for his efforts in the world, due to its multiplication to the Bounties of the Hereafter. And similar to that, I-saww wonder at the servant, an adversary of ours-asws, the People-asws of the Household, that he is abandoned in the world and is overcome at the hands of the Momineen, so there has been gathered for him the punishments of the two Houses (world and the Hereafter), and that he is given respite in the world and its punishments is delayed from him – there would be for him in the Hereafter from the strange Punishments, and the cruel Punishments, what would make him covet, if only he had been a Muslim in the world, and there is no comparison to the bounties of the world which used to be for him – with the multiplication to those afflictions. And even if he was the most excellent of the people with bounties in the world, and the longest of them in lifespan therein from being our-asws adversary, he would be immersed into the Fire with an immersion on the Day of Qiyamah. Then he would be asked, ‘Did you achieve any bliss at all? ’ He would say, ‘No’. And even if he was of the most difficult of lives of the people in the world, and of the greatest of them in afflictions, from our-asws compatible ones and our-asws Shias, he would be immersed on the Day of Judgment into the Paradise with an immersion. Then he would be asked, ‘Did you face any evil at all? ’ He would say, ‘No’. So, whatever you are thinking of with the bounties and evils, these are their descriptions. Thus, that is the Bliss, therefore seek it, and that is the punishment, so fear it! ’’[107]
