Hawzah News Agency – Imam Zayn al-Abidin (AS), when asked about death said:

لِلمؤمنِ كنَزعِ ثِيابٍ وَسِخَةٍ قَمِلَةٍ، وفَكِّ قُيودٍ وأغلالٍ ثَقيلَةٍ، والاستِبدالِ بأفخَرِ الثِّيابِ وأطيَبِها رَوائحَ، وأوطَاَ المَراكِبِ، وآنَسِ المَنازِلِ؛ وللكافِرِ كخَلعِ ثِيابٍ فاخِرَةٍ، والنَّقلِ عن مَنازِلَ أنيسَةٍ، والاستِبدالِ بأوسَخِ الثِّيابِ وأخشَنِها، وأوحَشِ‏ المَنازِلِ، وأعظَمِ العَذابِ.

'For a believer, it is like taking off dirty clothes, undoing shackles and heavy chains, and changing into the finest and most scented of clothes. It is the smoothest of mountable animals and the most comforting of abodes. As for the infidel, it is like taking off fine clothes, transferring from comfortable abodes, and changing into the dirtiest and roughest of clothes, the most terrifying of stations and the greatest of punishments.'
