Seyyid Nematullahi Al Jazairi says that I looked
for a teacher who would teach me and I heard about
Allamah Muhammed Baqer Al majlisi who is the author
of the book Bihaarul Anwaar in Isfahaan. I went to
him and he taught me and took great care of me as
if I was one of his children.
We in the course of our stay with each other had
promised that whoever out of us died first would come
in the dream of the other and relate about the world
Hereafter.
Seyyid Jazairi says that he stayed with Allamah Majlisi
for a long time until the Allamah fell sick and died.
The funeral procession was an event which showed how
respected he was.
Shortly after his death, Seyyid Jazairi went to the
grave yard and sat and recited verses of the Holy
Quran for him and cried in his remembrance of him
and as a result fell asleep. In his dream, he saw
Allamah Majlisi richly dressed and apparently in good
condition.
Seyyid Jazairi remembered that Allamah had died and
so asked him what happened to him when he was put
in the grave. The Allamah replied that as soon as
he was buried he was addressed by a voice which asked
him what he had brought of good deeds in the world
hereafter. The Allamah mentioned various deeds that
he had performed but the voice was not satisfied and
asked repeatedly.
The Allamah was terrified, and as he pondered he
remembered an act of charity. He related that once
as he was walking in the streets of Isfahan, he saw
a poor old man being harassed by many pedestrians.
The Allamah felt pity on the poor man and decided
to gather courage to confront the crowd.
When he asked the crowd of people about the reason
for their harassment, they replied that the poor man
owed them all some amounts of money. The Allamah asked
them to stop the harassment and to follow him to his
house so that he would pay them the amount which the
poor man owed them.
When the Allamah had related this event, a door to
heaven was opened for him and so many blessings were
showered for him. (JAMIUL QASAS LIL REDHA KADHIMI
