تَهنِئَةُ المُصابِ أولى مِن تَعزِيَتِه! Congratulating the Grief-Stricken is More Appropriate than Condoling Him

5ـ الإمامُ الرِّضا (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ في تَعزِيَتِهِ لِلحَسَنِ بنِ سَهلٍ ـ: التَّهنِئَةُ بِآجِلِ الثَّوابِ أولى مِن التَّعزِيَةِ عَلى عاجِلِ المُصيبَةِ .


5– Imam al-Rida (AS) said, when giving condolences to al-Hasan b. Sahl, ‘Congratulating someone for the reward that is in store for them is more appropriate than condoling them for a transient affliction.’ [Bihar al-Anwar, v. 78, p. 353, no. 9]
