זוהר בראשית — דף ריד ע”ב

The Holy One blessed be He calculated the end of the exile and did not forget the souls of Israel. Truth and kindness — together they are the redeemers. Every righteous person who dies receives a garment of honor. Souls that departed in righteousness receive their reward after seven days. All those souls that departed as a sacrifice ascend above before the Throne of Glory.
