Hadith 372
۞
3-130 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’ed ibn Abdullah quoted Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn Mahboob, on the authority of Zayd al-Shoham that Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB) said, “
Nothing is a harder (divine) test for a believer than giving charity from what he has earned from God the Almighty, being just and frequently remembering God.” He (MGB) then said, “I do not mean that you should often recite praises of God, but remember God in what you do regarding what is allowed and what is forbidden.”
3-130 حدثنا أبي رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله. عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، عن الحسن بن محبوب، عن زيد الشحام قال
قال أبوعبد الله عليه السلام: ما ابتلي المؤمن بشيء أشد عليه من خصال ثلاث يحرمها، قيل: وما هن؟ قال: المواساة في ذات يده بالله والانصاف من نفسه وذكر الله كثيرا، أما إني لا أقول لكم " سبحان الله والحمد لله ولا إله إلا الله والله أكبر " ولكن ذكر الله عندما أحل له، وذكر الله عندما حرمه عليه
