Hadith 324
۞
3. We were told by Muhammed bin Musa bin Mutawakkil, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: We were told by Abdullah bin Ja’far al-Himyari, from Ahmad bin Muhammed bin Isa, from Hasan bin Mahbub, from Hisham bin Salim, from Zurara, from Hasan al-Bazzaz, that he said
Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, said to me: Shall I not tell you of the most difficult which Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, obliged upon His creation? I said: Sure. (He said:) [1] That you are fair with people towards yourself, your consolation with your brother and mentioning Allah in every place. Alas, I am, indeed, saying, verily: «Glory be to Allah, and Praise be to Allah, and there is no god but Allah, and Allah is Greater». Although this is from that, however, (I mean) mentioning Allah in every place, (regardless) if you were to approach an act of obedience or an act of disobedience.
حدثنا محمد بن موسى بن المتوكل - رضي الله عنه - قال: حدثنا عبد الله بن جعفر الحميري، عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى عن الحسن بن محبوب، عن هشام بن سالم، عن زرارة، عن الحسين البزاز قال
قال لي أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: ألا أحدثك بأشد ما فرض الله الله عز وجل على خلقه؟ قلت بلى قال إنصاف الناس من نفسك ومواساتك لأخيك ، وذكر الله في كل موطن، أما إني لا أقول: " سبحان الله والحمد لله ولا إله إلا الله والله أكبر " وإن كان هذا من ذلك ولكن ذكر الله في كل موطن إذا هجمت على طاعة أو معصية.
