Hadith 46
۞
20.Faḍālah narrated from Qays al-Hilālī, from ʿAjlān Abū Ṣāliḥ who said
“Abū ʿAbdillāh (a) said, ‘Treat people with fairness, assist them with your wealth, and wish for them what you wish for yourself. Remember Allah often and beware of laziness and ennui, for that's what my father used to advise me, and that is what his father would advise him, and it pertains [even more so] to the nightly prayer. Indeed if you are lazy, you will not fulfill the right of Allah and if you are lethargic, you will not fulfill anyone else’s right.’”
فضالة عن قيس الهلالي عن عجلان أبى صالح قال
قال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام انصف الناس من نفسك وواسهم من مالك وارض لهم ما ترضى لنفسك واذكر الله كثيرا وإياك والكسل والضجر فان أبى بذلك كان يوصيني وبذلك كان يوصيه أبوه وذلك في صلاة الليل انك إذا كسلت لم تؤد إلى الله حقه وإذا ضجرت لم تؤد إلى أحد حقه.
