It is narrated in third volume of ‘Bihar-al-Anwaar’ that once Imam Ali-ar-Reza (a.s.) went to meet one of his companions (sahabi) who was about to die. He looked towards the Imam (a.s.) and said, “I see the radiant faces of Your Grandfather (the Holy Prophet), Your Father (the Commander of the faithful), Your Mother (Hazrat Fatema), and the other Imams in Your Ancestry. I also see your luminous face alongwith them.” It is a fact that every dying man has a glimpse of the Aimmah (a.s.), according to his love for and knowledge of them. For a believer (mo’min) their sight is a blessing from Allah, and for a hypocrite (munafiq) and disbeliever it is a sign of Allah’s wrath
