وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ: «مَنْ مَاتَ يَوْمَ اَلْجُمُعَةِ أَوْ لَيْلَةَ اَلْجُمُعَةِ رَفَعَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَذَابَ اَلْقَبْرِ.

The Messenger of Allah (saws) said: "Whoever dies on a Jumu’ah or on the night of Jumu’ah, Allah (swt) will relieve him from the punishment of the grave."

وَقَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «مَنْ مَاتَ مَا بَيْنَ زَوَالِ اَلشَّمْسِ مِنْ يَوْمِ اَلْخَمِيسِ إِلَى زَوَالِ اَلشَّمْسِ مِنْ يَوْمِ اَلْجُمُعَةِ أَمِنَ مِنْ ضَغْطَةِ اَلْقَبْرِ.

Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s) said: "Whoever dies between the decline of the sun on Thursday until the decline of the sun on will be safe from the squeezing (pressure) of the grave."

وَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: « لَيْلَةُ اَلْجُمُعَةِ لَيْلَةٌ غَرَّاءُ وَ يَوْمُهَا يَوْمٌ أَزْهَرُ وَ لَيْسَ عَلَى وَجْهِ اَلْأَرْضِ يَوْمٌ تَغْرُبُ فِيهِ اَلشَّمْسُ أَكْثَرَ مُعْتَقاً مِنَ اَلنَّارِ مِنْ يَوْمِ اَلْجُمُعَةِ وَ مَنْ مَاتَ يَوْمَ اَلْجُمُعَةِ كَتَبَ اَللَّهُ لَهُ بَرَاءَةً مِنْ عَذَابِ اَلْقَبْرِ وَ مَنْ مَاتَ يَوْمَ اَلْجُمُعَةِ أُعْتِقَ مِنَ اَلنَّارِ.

Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (a.s) said: "Jumu’ah night is a radiant night, and its day is a radiant day. There is no day on the face of the earth on which the sun sets with more people freed from the Fire than on Jumu’ah. Whoever dies on Jumu’ah, Allah (swt) will write for them freedom from the punishment of the grave, and whoever dies on Jumu’ah will be freed from the Fire."

وَقَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «مَا مِنْ مَيِّتٍ يَحْضُرُهُ اَلْوَفَاةُ إِلاَّ رَدَّ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ بَصَرِهِ وَ سَمْعِهِ وَ عَقْلِهِ آخِذاً لِلْوَصِيَّةِ أَوْ تَارِكاً وَ هِيَ اَلرَّاحَةُ اَلَّتِي يُقَالُ لَهَا رَاحَةُ اَلْمَوْتِ.

Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s) said: "There is no dying person for whom Allah (swt), the Mighty and Glorious, does not return their sight, hearing, and intellect at the moment of death, whether they are giving a final will or not. This is the 'relief of death' that is referred to as the comfort of passing away."

وَ سُئِلَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: لِأَيِّ عِلَّةٍ يُغْسَلُ اَلْمَيِّتُ قَالَ «تَخْرُجُ مِنْهُ اَلنُّطْفَةُ اَلَّتِي خُلِقَ مِنْهَا تَخْرُجُ مِنْ عَيْنَيْهِ أَوْ مِنْ فِيهِ وَ مَا يَخْرُجُ أَحَدٌ مِنَ اَلدُّنْيَا حَتَّى يَرَى مَكَانَهُ مِنَ اَلْجَنَّةِ أَوْ مِنَ اَلنَّارِ.

Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s) was asked: "For what reason is the deceased washed (given ghusl)?" Imam (a.s) said: "The drop that he was created from, exits from their eyes or their mouth, and no one leaves this world until they see their place in either Paradise or the Fire."

وَقَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «مَنْ مَاتَ مُحْرِماً بَعَثَهُ اَللَّهُ مُلَبِّياً.

Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s) said: "Whoever dies in the state of Ihram (consecration for Hajj or Umrah), Allah (swt) will resurrect them reciting the Talbiyah."

وَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «مَنْ مَاتَ فِي أَحَدِ اَلْحَرَمَيْنِ أَمِنَ مِنَ اَلْفَزَعِ اَلْأَكْبَرِ يَوْمَ اَلْقِيَامَةِ.

The Imam (a.s) said: "Whoever dies in one of the two sanctuaries (Makkah or Madinah) will be safe from the Great Terror on the Day of Resurrection."

وَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «اَلْمَرْأَةُ إِذَا مَاتَتْ فِي نِفَاسِهَا لَمْ يَنْشُرْ لَهَا دِيوَانٌ يَوْمَ اَلْقِيَامَةِ.

The Imam (a.s) said: "The death of a stranger (someone who dies away from their home) is martyrdom."

وَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي قَوْلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: « وَ مٰا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ مٰا ذٰا تَكْسِبُ غَداً وَ مٰا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ بِأَيِّ أَرْضٍ تَمُوتُ » فَقَالَ «مِنْ قَدَمٍ إِلَى قَدَمٍ.

The Imam (a.s) said regarding the words of Allah (swt), the Mighty and Glorious: "No soul knows what it will earn tomorrow, and no soul knows in which land it will die" (Surah Luqman 31:34). Imam (a.s) said; "From one step to another."
