"عَنْ عَلِىٍّ: أَنَّهُ خَطَبَ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَذَكَرَ الْمَوْتَ فَقَالَ: عِبَادَ اللهِ الْمَوْتُ لَيْسَ مِنْهُ فَوْتٌ إِنْ أَقَمْتُم لَهُ أخَذَكُم، وَإِنْ فَرَرْتُمْ مِنْهُ أَدْرَككُمْ، فَالنَّجَا النجا، وَالْوَحَا الْوَحَا وَرَاءَكُمْ طَالَب حَثِيثُ الْقَبْر فَاحْذَرُوا ضَغْطَتَهُ وَظُلْمَتَهُ وَوَحْشَتَهُ، أَلَا وَإِنَّ الْقَبْرَ حُفْرَةٌ مِنْ حُفَرِ النَّارِ، أَوْ رَوْضَةٌ مِنْ رِيَاضِ الجَنَّةِ، أَلَا وَإِنَّهُ يَتَكَّلمُ مِن كُلِّ يَوْمٍ ثَلَاث مَرَّاتٍ فَيَقُولُ: أَنَا بَيْتُ الظُّلْمَةِ، أَنَا بَيْتُ الدُّودِ، أَنَا بَيْتُ الوَحْشَةِ، أَلا وَإنَّ وَرَاءَ ذَلِكَ يَوْمٌ يَشِيبُ مِنْهُ الْوَلِيدُ، ويَسْكرُ مِنْهُ الكَبِيرُ وَتَضَعُ كُلُّ ذَاتِ حَمْلٍ حَمْلَهَا، وَتَرىَ النَّاسَ سُكَارَى وَمَا هُمْ بِسُكَارى، وَلَكِنَّ عَذَابَ اللهِ شَدِيدٌ، أَلَا وَإِنَّ وَرَاءَ ذَلِكَ مَا هُوَ أشَدُّ مِنْهُ نَارٌ حَرُّهَا شَدِيدٌ، وَقعْرُهَا بَعِيدٌ، وَحُليُّهَا حَدِيدٌ، وَخَازِنُها مَالِكٌ، لَيْسَ للهِ فِيْهِ، وَفِى لَفْظٍ - فِيهَا رَحْمةٌ - ألا وإن وَرَاءَ ذَلِكَ جَنَّةً عَرْضُهَا كَعْرِض السَّمَاءِ والأَرضِ أُعِدَّتْ لِلمُتَّقِينَ، جَعَلنَا اللهُ وَإِيَّاكُم مِنَ المتَّقِين، وَأَجَارَنَا وَإِيَّاكُمْ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ الأَلِيمِ".

"From Ali: that he gave a sermon, praised Allah and extolled Him, and mentioned death, saying: \"Servants of Allah! Death has no escape from it. If you stay, it will seize you; if you flee from it, it will overtake you. So hasten, hasten! Behind you is a seeker, swift toward the grave. So beware of its pressure, its darkness, and its loneliness. Indeed, the grave is a pit from the pits of the Fire, or a garden from the gardens of Paradise. Indeed, it speaks every day three times, saying: 'I am the house of darkness, I am the house of worms, I am the house of loneliness.' Indeed, beyond that is a day when the young will turn gray, and the elderly will be intoxicated, and every pregnant woman will lay down her burden, and you will see people as intoxicated, though they are not intoxicated, but the punishment of Allah is severe. Indeed, beyond that is something worse: a Fire whose heat is intense, whose depth is far, whose ornaments are iron, and whose keeper is Malik. There is no mercy from Allah in it.\" And in another wording: \"In it is mercy.\" \"Indeed, beyond that is a Paradise whose breadth is like the breadth of the heavens and the earth, prepared for the God-fearing. May Allah make us and you among the God-fearing, and protect us and you from the painful punishment.\""
