Hadith 8
۞
8. He said: Abul Hasan Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Al-Hasan reported to me from his father, from Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Saffar, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, from Safwan ibn Yahya, from Mansoor ibn Hazim, from Abu Hamza, from ‘Ali ibn al-Husayn Zainul Abideen (A.S.) that the
Prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny) said: "The most beloved steps in Allah’s estimation are two: one taken by a Mu’min to fill the rank in the way of Allah, another taken by a Mu’min to mend the relations with a blood relative who had cut off. And the most worthy swallows in His estimation are two: the swallow of anger by a Mu’min while reacting to provocation with gentleness, and swallow of sadness and anxiety, giving a patient response to the trying times. And the most beloved droplets in His estimation are two: a drop of blood spilled in the way of Allah, and a drop of tears shed in the darkness of night, fearing Allah."
8 - قال: أخبرني أبو الحسن أحمد بن محمد بن الحسن، عن أبيه، عن محمد ابن الحسن الصفار، عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، عن صفوان بن يحيى، عن منصور بن حازم، عن أبي حمزة، عن علي بن الحسين زين العابدين عليهما السلام قال
قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: ما من خطوة أحب إلى الله من خطوتين: خطوة يسد بها [مؤمن] صفا في سبيل الله، وخطوة يخطوها [مؤمن] إلى ذي رحم قاطع يصلها، وما من جرعة أحب إلى الله من جرعتين: جرعة غيظ يردها مؤمن بحلم ، وجرعة جزع يردها مؤمن بصبر، وما من قطرة أحب إلى الله من قطرتين: قطرة دم في سبيل الله، وقطرة دمع في سواد الليل من خشية الله.
