3-139 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Ali ibn al-Hussein al-Sa’ed Abady quoted Ahmad ibn Aba Abdullah al-Barqy, on the authority of Al-Hussein ibn Ali ibn Faz’zal, on the authority of Ali ibn Aqabah, on the authority of Abil Jarud Zyad ibn al-Monzar that Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB) said, “
The following three are the hardest things to do for a believer: to be fair regarding oneself and not wanting anything for others unless we want that for ourselves too; financially helping our brothers and remembering God in all circumstances - that is not just saying ‘Glory to God, Praise to God, There is no god but God’, but accepting any commands of God and abstaining from what God has forbidden.”
3-139 حدثنا أبي رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا علي بن الحسين السعد آبادي، عن أحمد بن أبي عبد الله البرقي، عن الحسين بن علي بن فضال، عن علي بن عقبة، عن أبي الجارود زياد بن المنذر، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال
أشد الاعمال ثلاثة: انصاف الناس من نفسك حتى لا ترضى لها منهم بشيء إلا رضيت لهم منها بمثله، ومواساتك الاخ في المال، وذكر الله على كل حال، ليس "سبحان الله والحمدلله ولا إله إلا الله والله أكبر" فقط، ولكن إذا ورد عليك شيء من أمر الله أخذت به وإذا ورد عليك شيء نهى الله عز وجل عنه تركته
