SHAFAQNA – It is narrated from Imam Baqer (AS) who narrated from the Prophet of Islam (PBUH) who said: A man from Ansar who was in good terms with the Prophet (PBUH) was dying, and the prophet (PBUH) was present at the time and noticed the Angel Izraeel (AS) near that man’s head. The Prophet (PBUH) told Izraeel (AS): O’ the Angel of Death, be kind to my friend and helper. The Angel of Death replied: O’ Mohammad (PBUH), glad tidings to you, rest assured that I am kind and compassionate to all the believers [1].
