If He Dies Without Our Wilayat
The knowledgeable scholar Abu ALI Hasan bin Abi Jaafar Al-Tousi narrated from his blessed father Abu Jaafar Mohammad bin Hasan Al-Tousi, from the scholar Abu Abdillah Mohammad bin Mohammad bin No?man, from Abu Bakr Mohammad bin Omar Al-Jo?aabi, from Abdullah bin Ahmad bin Mastour, from Abdullah bin Yahya, from ALI bin Aasim, from Abi Hamza Al- Thomali, who said:
ALI BIN HUSAIN (ASWS) asked us, “What is the best place in this world?”
We replied, “ALLAH (SWT), HIS MESSENGER (SAWW) , and the son of His Messenger (ASWS) know better.”
ALI BIN HUSAIN (ASWS) said, “The best of the places is between RUKN and MAQAAM But if a person lives as long as Nuh, who preached for nine hundred and fifty years, fasts all of his days, and prays all of his nights in that place but dies without our Wilayat, he will not benefit from any of these (deeds).”
