8. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from his father from al- Nadr ibn Suwayd from Hisham ibn Salim from abu Hamza al-Thumali from Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.) who has said the following: “When Allah, the Majestic, the Glorious, will gather together all the people of the past and the later generations, a caller whom everyone will hear will call, ‘Where are those whose love was just for the sake of Allah?’ Certain necks will rise from among the people and it will be said to them, ‘Go to paradise without any questions asked.’ The Imam said, ‘The angels will meet them asking, “Where are you going?” They will say, “We are going to paradise without any questions asked.” The Imam said, “The angels will ask, ‘What kind of people are you?’ They will say, ‘We are the people who loved just for the sake of Allah.’ The Imam said, ‘The angels will ask, “What were your deeds?” They will reply, “We loved for the sake of Allah and hated just for the sake of Allah.” The Imam said, ‘The angels will say, “How wonderful is the reward of the doers of good deeds!””’
