Un autre des chapitres sur les âmes des croyants

3. Sahl ibn Ziyad has narrated from ’Isma‘il ibn Mehran from Durust ibn abu Mansur from ibn Muskan from abu Basir who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that the souls (spirits) with the quality of body are in a tree in paradise where they get to know each other and ask questions. Whenever a new coming soul (spirit) joins them, they say, ‘Leave him alone. He has just experienced a huge terrifying experience.’ Then they ask him, ‘What is so and so and so and so doing?’ If he says, ‘I left him in his lifetime,’ they wish the best for him; but if he says, ‘He died’, they say, ‘He then has fallen into the deep (hell).”’

Les âmes sont semblables aux corps dans un arbre au Paradis, se reconnaissant et se questionnant. Lorsqu'une âme arrive parmi les autres âmes, elles lui disent : "Laisse-la, car elle s'est libérée d'une grande détresse". Ensuite, elles lui demandent ce qu'a fait tel individu et ce qu'a fait tel autre. Si elle répond : "Je l'ai laissé vivant", ils le recherchent avec espoir. Mais si elle dit : "Il est mort", ils disent : "Il a chuté, il a chuté".

4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Muhammad ibn ‘Uthman from abu Basir who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about the souls (spirits) of believing people. He said, ‘They are in chambers in paradise, they eat and drink thereof and say, “O Lord, make it the Day of Judgment, allow what You had promised us to come true and join the last of us with those who were first.’””

J'ai demandé à Abi Abdillah (que la paix soit sur lui) au sujet des âmes des croyants. Il a dit : "Elles se trouvent dans des chambres au Paradis, où ils mangent de sa nourriture, boivent de ses boissons, et disent : 'Ô notre Seigneur, fais venir l'Heure pour nous, accomplis pour nous ce que Tu nous as promis, et réunis nos derniers avec nos premiers.'"

5. Ali has narrated from his father from Muhsin ibn Ahmad from Muhammad ibn Hammad from Yunus ibn Ya‘qub who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that when a dying person dies, other spirits gather around him and ask, ‘Who is still alive and who is dead?’ If someone is dead and has not joined them they say, ‘He then has fallen into the deep.’ Others among them say, ‘Leave him alone so he can gain comfort from what he has experienced from death.’”

Quand une personne décédée meurt, ceux qui l'entourent se rassemblent autour de lui pour demander des nouvelles de ceux qui sont partis et de ceux qui restent. S'il meurt sans leur répondre, ils disent : "Il est parti, il est parti", et certains d'entre eux disent aux autres : "Laissez-le tranquille jusqu'à ce qu'il se calme de ce qu'il a traversé de la mort."

6. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Muhammad ibn Khalid from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Ahmad from Yunus ibn Zabyan who has said the following: ’Once I was with abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, and he asked, ‘What do people say about the spirits of the believers?’ I then replied, ‘They say that they live in the craws of green birds in chandlers in paradise under the Throne.’ Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, then said, ‘Allah is free of all defects. A believer is highly respected in the sight of Allah. He does not place them (the spirits of believers) in the craws of birds. O Yunus, when that (death) comes Muhammad, Ali, Fatimah, al- Hassan and al-Husayn, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, and the angels of high ranks before Allah come. When Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, causes him to die, the spirit is transferred to a form like his form in the world. They (spirits) eat and drink. When a new coming soul (spirit) joins them, they recognize him through his form which he had in the world.’”

7. Muhammad ibn Ahmad has narrated from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from his brother al-Hassan from Zur‘ah from abu Basir who has said the following: “Once, I said to abu ’Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, ‘We speak about the spirits of the believing people that they live in the craws of green birds that graze in paradise and seek shelter in chandlers under the Throne.’ He said, ‘No, they certainly are not in the craws of birds.’ I then asked, ‘Where are they then?’ He replied, ‘They are in a garden in the shape of bodies in paradise.’”

Nous parlons des âmes des croyants, disant qu'elles sont dans les crops des oiseaux verts qui paissent dans le Paradis et se réfugient dans des lanternes sous le Trône. Il dit : "Non, alors où sont-elles ?" J'ai dit : "Alors où sont-elles ?" Il dit : "Dans un jardin, comme des corps, dans le Paradis."
