Hadith.592 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said:
"When the soul is taken, it hovers above the body, whether the person is a believer or otherwise, watching everything that is done to it.
When the body is shrouded and placed on the bier and carried on the shoulders of men, the soul returns to it and enters it, and its sight is extended to see its place in Paradise or Hellfire.
It then calls out with a loud voice: If it is from the people of Paradise, it says, 'Hasten me, hasten me!' And if it is from the people of Hellfire, it says, 'Take me back, take me back!'
It is aware of everything done to it and hears the words spoken."
592 - وَقَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «إِذَا قُبِضَتِ اَلرُّوحُ فَهِيَ مُظِلَّةٌ فَوْقَ اَلْجَسَدِ رُوحُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِ وَ غَيْرِهِ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ يُصْنَعُ بِهِ فَإِذَا كُفِّنَ وَ وُضِعَ عَلَى اَلسَّرِيرِ وَ حُمِلَ عَلَى أَعْنَاقِ اَلرِّجَالِ عَادَتِ اَلرُّوحُ إِلَيْهِ وَ دَخَلَتْ فِيهِ فَيُمَدُّ لَهُ فِي بَصَرِهِ فَيَنْظُرُ إِلَى مَوْضِعِهِ مِنَ اَلْجَنَّةِ أَوْ مِنَ اَلنَّارِ فَيُنَادِي بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ إِنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ اَلْجَنَّةِ عَجِّلُونِي عَجِّلُونِي وَ إِنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ اَلنَّارِ رُدُّونِي رُدُّونِي وَ هُوَ يَعْلَمُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ يُصْنَعُ بِهِ وَ يَسْمَعُ اَلْكَلاَمَ.
