Jabir said:
"When a man enters his house or goes to bed, an angel
and shaytan hasten to him. The angel says, 'Seal it with good!' The Shaytan
says, 'Seal it with evil.' If he praises Allah and remembers Him, he chases
the shaytan away and spends the night with him guarding him. When he wakes
up, the angel and shaytan hasten to him and say the same thing. If he mentions
Allah and says, 'Praise be to Allah, who keeps firm hold of the heavens
and earth, preventing them from vanishing away. And if they vanished no
one could then keep hold of them. Certainly He is Most Forbearing, Ever-Forgiving.'
(35:41)
Praise be to Allah who holds back the sky preventing it from falling
on the earth, except by His permission. Allah is All-Compassionate to mankind,
Most Merciful.' (22:63) If he dies, he dies a martyr, If he gets up
and prays, he prays in virtue.'"
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ الصَّوَّافِ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ‏:‏ إِذَا دَخَلَ الرَّجُلُ بَيْتَهُ أَوْ أَوَى إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ ابْتَدَرَهُ مَلَكٌ وَشَيْطَانٌ، فَقَالَ الْمَلَكُ‏:‏ اخْتِمْ بِخَيْرٍ، وَقَالَ الشَّيْطَانُ‏:‏ اخْتِمْ بِشَرٍّ، فَإِنْ حَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَذَكَرَهُ أَطْرَدَهُ، وَبَاتَ يَكْلَؤُهُ، فَإِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ ابْتَدَرَهُ مَلَكٌ وَشَيْطَانٌ فَقَالاَ مِثْلَهُ، فَإِنْ ذَكَرَ اللَّهَ وَقَالَ‏:‏ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي رَدَّ إِلَيَّ نَفْسِي بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا وَلَمْ يُمِتْهَا فِي مَنَامِهَا، الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي ‏{‏يُمْسِكُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ أَنْ تَزُولاَ، وَلَئِنْ زَالَتَا إِنْ أَمْسَكَهُمَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ إِنَّهُ كَانَ حَلِيمًا غَفُورًا‏}‏، الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي ‏{‏يُمْسِكُ السَّمَاءَ أَنْ تَقَعَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِهِ‏}‏ إِلَى ‏{‏لَرَءُوفٌ رَحِيمٌ‏}‏، فَإِنْ مَاتَ مَاتَ شَهِيدًا، وَإِنْ قَامَ فَصَلَّى صَلَّى فِي فَضَائِلَ‏.‏
