Hadith 177
۞
1. We were told by my father, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Ali bin Musa bin Ja’far bin Abi Ja’far al-Kamandani, that he said: We were told by Ahmad bin Muhammed bin Isa al-Ash’ari, that he said: We were told by Abdul-Rahman bin Abi Najran, from ‘Asim bin Hameed, from Muhammed bin Qais, from Abu Ja’far, Muhammed bin Ali al-Baqir, peace be upon him, that he said
Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, revealed to Adam, peace be upon him: O Adam, indeed, I am gathering for you all goodness in four words: one for Me; one for you; one between Me and you; and one between you and the people. As for the one that is for Me, it is that you worship Me, not associating anything with Me; and as for the one that is for you, it is that I reward you for your act by that which you are in most need to; and as for the one that is between Me and you, it is that upon you is to pray and upon Me it is to respond; and as for the one that is between you and the people, it is that you are pleased for the people by that which you are pleased for yourself.
حدثنا أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا علي بن موسى بن جعفر بن أبي جعفر الكمنداني، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى الأشعري، قال: حدثنا عبد الرحمن بن أبي نجران، عن عاصم بن حميد، عن محمد بن قيس، عن أبي جعفر محمد بن علي الباقر عليهم السلام قال
أوحى الله تبارك وتعالى إ��ى آدم عليه السلام: يا آدم إني أجمع لك الخير كله في أربع كلمات: واحدة لي، وواحدة لك، وواحدة، فيما بيني وبينك، وواحدة فيما بينك وبين الناس. فأما التي لي: فتعبدني لا تشرك بي شيئا، وأما التي لك: فأجازيك بعملك أحوج ما تكون إليه، وأما التي بيني وبينك: فعليك الدعاء وعلي الإجابة، وأما التي فيما بينك وبين الناس: فترضى للناس ما ترضى لنفسك.
