English translation:
"When Allah, the Almighty, raises the believer from his grave, a figure will come out with him and walk ahead of him. Whenever the believer sees a terrible scene of the Day of Judgement, the figure says to him: 'Do not fear and do not grieve — glad tidings to you of the joy and rewards of Allah.' This goes on until he reaches the presence of Allah, his account is taken easily, and he is sent to Paradise. The believer asks the figure, 'Who are you? How kindly you accompanied me from the time I was raised from the grave!' It replies: 'I am that same happiness and joy that you gave to your believer brother in the world. Allah created me from that happiness, so that I may congratulate you.'"
Explanation: A kind word, a help in need, a moment that made a believer smile — it does not disappear. Allah gives it a form, and it walks with you through the grave, the resurrection, and every frightening scene of the Day of Judgement, calming you until you reach Paradise. The happiness you give others is the companion you keep.
