3-138 Muhammad ibn Ali Majiluyih - may God be pleased with him - narrated that his uncle Muhammad ibn Abil-Qasim quoted Ahmad ibn Aba Abdullah al-Barqy, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Abdullah ibn al-Muqayrih, on the authority of Abil Sabah al-Kanani, on the authority of Abi Basir that Abi Ja’far al-Baqir (MGB) said, “
The following three are the hardest things to do for a believer: to be fair regarding oneself, to help others, and remember God in all circumstances. One should remember God whenever he is about to commit a sin as the Honorable the Exalted God said, ‘Those who fear God, when a thought of evil from Satan assaults them, bring God to remembrance, when lo! they see (aright)!’ .”
3-138 حدثنا محمد بن علي ما جيلويه رضي الله عنه، عن عمه محمد بن أبي القاسم عن أحمد بن أبي عبد الله البرقي، عن أبيه، عن عبد الله بن المغيرة، عن أبي الصباح الكنانى، عن أبي بصير، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال
ثلاث من أشد ما عمل العباد: انصاف المؤمن من نفسه، ومواساة المرء أخاه، وذكر الله على كل حال، وهو أن يذكر الله عز وجل عند المعصية يهم بها فيحول ذكر الله بينه وبين تلك المعصية وهو قول الله عز وجل "إِنَّ الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا إِذَا مَسَّهُمْ طَائِفٌ مِنْ الشَّيْطَانِ تَذَكَّرُوا فَإِذَا هُمْ مُبْصِرُونَ ."
