Call For Many Deaths.....

The knowledgeable scholar Abu Ali Hasan bin Abi Jaafar Al-Tousi, narrated from his blessed father Abu Jaafar Mohammad bin Hasan Al-Tousi, from the scholar Abu Abdillah Mohammad bin Mohammad bin No’man, from Abu Bakr Mohammad bin Omar Al-Jo’aabi, from Ahmad bin Saeed Al-Hamdaani, from Abbas bin Bikr, from Mohammad bin Zakariya, from Katheer Ibn Tareq, who said:

I asked Zaid bin Ali bin Husain (as) (son of the Fourth lmam (a.s.)) about this verse, “(It shall be said to them) Do not call for one death but call for many deaths on this day” (25:14).

Zaid bin Ali bin Husain (a.s.) replied:

Katheer! You are a righteous man now and you are not of those described in this verse but I am worried about your future.

On the Day of Judgement, people will be ordered to follow the person whom they followed in this life. So if the person they followed goes to Hell they will follow him to Hell, and then they will start to weep about their destruction and doom.

They will tell the person whom they followed, “Get us out of here just like you led us here.”

And they will be told, “Do not call for one death but call for many deaths on this day” (25:14)

I heard my father, Ali bin Husain (a.s.), narrate from his father, Husain bin Ali (as), from his father, the Commander of the Believers (a.s.), from the Messenger of Allah (swt) (s.a.w.a.), who said,

“O Ali (as)! You and your companions will be in Paradise. O Ali (as)! You and your followers will be in Paradise.”
