Hadith 322
۞
1. We were told by Muhammed bin Musa bin Mutawakkil, that he said: We were told by Abdullah bin Ja’far al-Himyari, from Ahmad bin Muhammed, from Hasan bin Mahbub, from Abu Usama, Zaid al-Shahham, that he said
Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him: A believer has not been trialed with anything more difficult upon him than three traits which he prevents. It was said: And what are they? He said: Consolation with what is in his hand, fairness towards himself and mentioning Allah abundantly. Alas, I am, indeed, saying to you, verily: «Glory be to Allah, and Praise be to Allah, and there is no god but Allah, and Allah is Greater» however, (I mean) it to mention Allah when things are granted to him and when things are prevented upon him.
حدثنا محمد بن موسى بن المتوكل قال: حدثنا عبد الله بن جعفر الحميري، عن أحمد بن محمد، عن الحسن بن محبوب، عن أبي أسامة زيد الشحام، قال
قال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام ما ابتلي المؤمن بشئ أشد عليه من خصال ثلاث يحرمها. قيل: وما هي؟ قال: المؤاساة في ذات يده، والانصاف من نفسه، وذكر الله كثيرا، أما إني لا أقول لكم: سبحان الله والحمد لله ولا إله إلا الله والله أكبر ولكن ذكر الله عندما أحل له وعندما حرم عليه.
