DUA'A 50 It is reported on the authority of the Holy Prophet that there are many groups and formations of the spirits, and the spirit(run) of a mumin (believer) is closely associated with the spirits of the prophets and the Ahl ul Bayt. Those spirits who are known to each other in this world remain consciously aware of one another in the other world of  spirits when they go from here(die). Those who have gone gone to the realm of the spirits sometimes make make contact with the people they knew here. According to many reliable traditions the spirit of a mumin dwells with the spirits of the holy and the pious. pious. When pure spirit is deposited or caged caged in the body then the the influence of the human organism gives birth to satanic tendencies, but the spirits of  those who are very near to Allah remain in contact with the higher spirits of the other world and receive guidance and blessings agt every step in this world.

 The thoroughly deprives slaves of the satan, having lost their contact with the higher spirits go astray and all doors of goodness and guidance are closed upon them.  There are another type of people who were in contact with the higher spirits, but tempted by the satanic influences go in for immoral desires and pleasures, yet their conscience, at random, random, calls their attention to the path of goodness goodness and virtue. The sin, and then turn repentant to Allah, seek His forgiveness forgiveness and pardon. Because of  their involvement with the immoral satanic association the spirits of the prophets and the Ahl ul Bayt keep them at a distance, but when they sleep the good spirits, known to them hearken them to the path of goodness and piety, because in sleep their association with the the satanic influences does not have an upper hand. As the sleep becomes more and more sound, the spirit feels free from the satanic spell and tries to reach the divine kingdom. At that time, whatever whatever a mumin drams is free free from falsehood.
