Asbaq ibn Nabateh narrated that Ameer al-Momineen (a.s) said
“There are two types of remembrance: remembering God during times of calamities, and even better is remembering God when you are about to do what God has forbidden. This form of remembrance will cause you to abandon forbidden acts.”
عن أصبغ بن نباته قال
قال أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام): الذكر ذكران: ذكر الله عز وجل عند المصيبة، وأفضل من ذلك ذكر الله عندما حرم عليك فيكون حاجزا.
