A tradition has reached us from you.’ He asked, ‘What is it?’ I said, ‘That you said: the possessor of this affair (i.e. our wilāyah) will only be delighted when it (i.e. the soul) is here - and you pointed with your hand towards your throat.’ He said, ‘Yes. Indeed the people [who are supporters] of this affair will be delighted when it reaches here,’ and he gestured with his hand towards his throat. [Then he said,] ‘As for that which he feared of this world, he will have turned away from it, and in front of him will be the Messenger of Allah (ṣ), ʿAlī, al-Ḥasan and al-Ḥusayn (a).’”
