الرُّوحُ عِندَ النَّومِ The Spirit During Sleep

7ـ الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ عندما سَألَه أبو بصيرٍ عنِ الرُّوحِ عِندَ النَّومِ أخارِجٌ مِن البَدَنِ؟ ـ: لا يا أبا بصيرٍ ، فإنَّ الرُّوحَ إذا فارَقَتِ البَدَنَ لَم تَعُدْ إلَيهِ ، غَيرَ أنّها بمَنزِلَةِ عَينِ الشَّمسِ مَركُوزةٌ في السماءِ في كَبِدِها ، وشُعاعُها في الدنيا.

7– Imam al-Sadiq (AS), when asked by his companion Abu Basir whether the spirit remains with the body during sleep or leaves it, replied, 'No, O Abu Basir, verily if the spirit were to leave the body it would never again return to it. It is actually like the sun that is fixed in its place in the centre of the sky, yet its rays extend out to the earth.’[Jami`a al-Akhbar, p. 488, no. 1360]
 

8ـ الإمامُ الكاظمُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إنّ المَرءَ إذا نامَ فإنّ رُوحَ الحَيَوانِ باقِيَةٌ في البَدَنِ ، والذي يَخرُجُ مِنهُ رُوحُ العَقلِ.

8– Imam al-Kazim (AS) said, 'When man sleeps, the animal spirit within him remains with his body, and that which leaves it is the rational spirit.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 61, p. 43, no. 19]
