The Book of the Believer · Hadith 32 (#Ḥadīth #32)

32 - عن علي بن الحسين وأبي جعفر (ع) قالا إنّ المؤمنَ ليُقال لروحِه - وهو يُغسّلُ -: أيسُرُّكِ أن تردّي إلى الجسدِ الذي كنتِ فيه؟ فتقول: ما أصنعُ بالبلاء والخسران والغم؟

32. It has been narrated that 'Ali ibn Al-Husayn and Abu Ja'far said: The soul of a (dead) believer is asked - when it is being washed (for funeral), 'Would it please you to be returned to the body that you resided in?' It would reply, 'What am I to do with (more) afflictions, loss and grief?'
