الخطبة ۱۱۱

و من خطبة له عليه السلام ذكر فيها ملك الموت عليه السلام و توفيه الأنفس

هَلْ تُحِسُّ بِهِ إِذَا دَخَلَ مَنْزِلًا أَمْ هَلْ تَرَاهُ إِذَا تَوَفَّى أَحَداً بَلْ كَيْفَ يَتَوَفَّى الْجَنِينَ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ أَ يَلِجُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ بَعْضِ جَوَارِحِهَا أَمْ الرُّوحُ أَجَابَتْهُ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهَا أَمْ هُوَ سَاكِنٌ مَعَهُ فِي أَحْشَائِهَا كَيْفَ يَصِفُ إِلَهَهُ مَنْ يَعْجِزُ عَنْ صِفَةِ مَخْلُوقٍ مِثْلِهِ

Sermon 111

A Sermon from Imam Ali (a.s)

About the Angel of Death and depart of spirit Do you feel when the Angel of Death enters a house, or do you see him when he takes out life of anyone? How does he take out the life of an embryo in the womb of his mother? Does he reach it through any part of her body or the spirit responded to his call with the permission of Allah? Or does he stay with him in the mother's interior? How can he who is unable to describe a creature like this, describe Allah?
