Causes de la mort et que les croyants peuvent mourir de toute manière de décès

3. Muhammad has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Isma’il from Sa‘dan ibn Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following: ‘Alayhi al-Salam, saying: “I heard abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, say that fever is the harbinger of death; it is the prison of Allah on earth and the share of a believing person from the fire.”

J'ai entendu dire qu'il a dit : "La fièvre est le précurseur de la mort, c'est la prison d'Allah sur terre, et c'est la part du croyant du Feu."

4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn Faddal, from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Muhammad ibn al-Fudayl, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Yazid who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that the Messenger of Allah has said, ‘Prophet David died suddenly on a Saturday and birds provided shadow over his body. Moses died in the wilderness where he had lost his way. A voice cried from the sky, “Moses has died! Who is he that does not die?””’

Le Prophète Dāwūd est décédé un samedi, frappé par les ailes des oiseaux qui l'ont ombragé, et Moïse, l'interlocuteur d'Allah, est mort égaré. Un cri retentit du ciel: Moïse est mort, et toute âme goûtera à la mort.

5. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn abu Nasr and al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from abu Jamilah from Jabir who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘A sudden death compensates (for the short comings) of a believing person but it is a regrettable grip for an unbeliever.’”

"La mort soudaine est une allégement pour le croyant et une cause de tristesse pour le mécréant."

6. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad or someone other than him from Ali ibn Hadid from who has said the following: “Al-Rida, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that most of our followers die from widespread stomach (internal) illness.”

La plupart de nos partisans meurent de faim.

7. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Musa ibn al-FIassan from al-Haytham ibn al-Masruq from a shaykh of our people called abu ‘Abd Allah from a man who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that the Messenger of Allah has said, ‘Fever is a harbinger of death and a prison of Allah on earth. Its heat is from hell and that is the share of a believing person (instead) of hellfire.’”

"Le Prophète (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) a dit : La fièvre est le précurseur de la mort, c'est une prison d'Allah le Très-Haut sur Sa terre, un rempart contre l'Enfer, et c'est la part de tout croyant du Feu."

8. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Safwan from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar from Najiyah who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam has said, ’A believing person may die by any form of death and suffer from any form of suffering; however, he does not kill himself.”’

Certes, le croyant est éprouvé par toute épreuve et meurt de toute mort, sauf qu'il ne se tue pas lui-même.

9. Humayd ibn Ziyad has narrated from al-Hassan ibn Muhammad from Wuhayb ibn Hafs from abu Basir who has said the following: “Once I asked abu ’Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about the death of a believing person. The Imam said, ‘A believing person may die by any form of death, such as by drowning, or collapse of a house, by beasts or thunderous lightening but not when speaking of Allah.’”

Le croyant meurt de toute mort, il meurt noyé, il meurt écrasé, il est éprouvé par les maladies, il meurt foudroyé, mais cela n'atteint pas celui qui se souvient d'Allah Très-Haut.

10. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Muhammad ibn Sinan from ‘Uthman al-Nawwa’ from those whom he has mentioned (in his book) who has said the following: “Abu ’Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that Allah, the Majestic, the Glorious, places a believing person under any kind of test and trial and causes him or her to die by any form of death but He does not cause him or her to suffer the loss of reason. Consider the case of prophet Ayyub, how Satan controlled his property, children and family and all things that were his, but not his reason. It remained with him so he could worship thereby and maintain his belief in Allah, the Majestic, the Glorious.”

Certes, Allah, le Puissant et Majestueux, éprouve le croyant avec chaque épreuve, et le fait mourir de chaque mort, mais Il ne le met pas à l'épreuve en lui enlevant son intelligence. Regardez comment Job (sur lui la paix) a été mis à l'épreuve par Satan, sur sa richesse, ses enfants, sa famille et tout ce qui était en sa possession, sans toucher à son intelligence, lui laissant ce qui lui permettait d'adorer Allah, le Puissant et Majestueux.
