Deeds presented to him (s.a.w.a) after death

Saffar have narrated through authentic and correct chains of narrators from the Infallibles (a.s.) that one day the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) sat with his companions and said: “My life is good for you as well as my death.” Companions said, “We know that your holy life is good for us, because through you we have been guided to the right path and achieved salvation from the fire of Hell. But how can your death be good for us?” The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) said, “After my death, your deeds will be presented before me; and when I see your good deeds, I would pray for you that may Allah increase your Taufeeq. And seeing your bad deeds, I will ask Allah to forgive you.” A hypocrite said, “How would you pray for us, when your bones (Allah’s refuge) would have decayed into dust.” The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said, “It is not so, the Almighty Allah has made my and my Ahle Bayt’s flesh prohibited for the earth and our bodies do not decay in the earth.”

So I went to Asfan and thus passing each stage in turn, reached Mecca. I stayed there for some days and was engrossed in Tawaf and other devotions. One night, when I was doing the Tawaf, I noticed an extremely handsome and fragrant young man walking about and doing the Tawaf of the Kaaba. Some feelings arose in my heart; I moved towards him and touched him. He asked: Where do you belong to? I said: Iraq. He asked: Where in Iraq? I said: ...
