وَ أَتَى رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ اَلْبَادِيَةِ لَهُ حَشَمٌ وَ جِمَالٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ قَوْلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: « اَلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ كٰانُوا يَتَّقُونَ `لَهُمُ اَلْبُشْرىٰ فِي اَلْحَيٰاةِ اَلدُّنْيٰا وَ فِي اَلْآخِرَةِ » فَقَالَ «أَمَّا قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى « لَهُمُ اَلْبُشْرىٰ فِي اَلْحَيٰاةِ اَلدُّنْيٰا » فَهِيَ اَلرُّؤْيَا اَلْحَسَنَةُ يَرَاهَا اَلْمُؤْمِنُ فَيُبَشَّرُ بِهَا فِي دُنْيَاهُ وَ أَمَّا قَوْلُ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: « وَ فِي اَلْآخِرَةِ » فَإِنَّهَا بِشَارَةُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِ عِنْدَ اَلْمَوْتِ يُبَشَّرُ بِهَا عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ أَنَّ اَللَّهَ قَدْ غَفَرَ لَكَ وَ لِمَنْ يَحْمِلُكَ إِلَى قَبْرِكَ.

A man from the Bedouins, who had servants and camels, came to the Messenger of Allah (saws) and said: "O’ Messenger of Allah (saws), inform me about the words of Allah (swt), the Mighty and Glorious: 'Those who believe and are conscious of Allah (swt) — they will have good news in this world and in the Hereafter' (Surah Yunus 10:63-64) The Prophet replied: "As for His words, 'They will have good news in this world,' it refers to the good dreams that a believer sees and is given glad tidings by them in this world. And as for 'and in the Hereafter,' it refers to the glad tidings a believer receives at the time of death, that Allah (swt) has forgiven you and those who carry you to your grave."
