Original Arabic text

7ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ جَبَلَةَ الأحْمَسِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الْجَارُودِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) الْمُتَحَابُّونَ فِي الله يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى أَرْضِ زَبَرْجَدَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ فِي ظِلِّ عَرْشِهِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَكِلْتَا يَدَيْهِ يَمِينٌ وُجُوهُهُمْ أَشَدُّ بَيَاضاً وَأَضْوَأُ مِنَ الشَّمْسِ الطَّالِعَةِ يَغْبِطُهُمْ بِمَنْزِلَتِهِمْ كُلُّ مَلَكٍ مُقَرَّبٍ وَكُلُّ نَبِيٍّ مُرْسَلٍ يَقُولُ النَّاسُ مَنْ هَؤُلاءِ فَيُقَالُ هَؤُلاءِ الْمُتَحَابُّونَ فِي الله.

Published English translation

7. It is narrated from him (Ahmad bin Abi Abdillah) from Muhammad ibn Ali from ‘Umar ibn Jabalah from al-Ahmasi from Abu al-Jarud that Abu Ja’far al-Baqir (as) narrated that Rasulullah (saw) said: "The people who love one another for the sake of Allah will be on a green carpet on the Day of Resurrection, in the shade of on the right side of His Throne, and both of His hands are right hands. Their faces will be whiter and brighter than the rising sun. Every close angel and every sent prophet will envy them for their status. People will ask, 'Who are these?' and it will be said, 'These are the ones who love one another for the sake of Allah.'"
