Hadith 323
۞
2. My father, may Allah have mercy upon him, said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, from Ahmad bin Muhammed, from his father, from Ibn Mughaira, from Abu’s-Sabah al-Kinani, from Abu Baseer, from Abu Ja’far, peace be upon him, that he said
Among the most difficult of what servants have done, is the individual’s fairness towards himself, the individual’s consolation with his brother and mentioning Allah in all cases. He said: I said: May Allah rectify you, and what is the indication of mentioning Allah in all cases? He said: That one mentions Allah at the committing of an act of disobedience that one intends, at which the mentioning of Allah appears between him and between that act of disobedience. That is the saying of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He: «Indeed, those who are godfearing, if they are touched by an impulse from Shaytan, they remember Allah, and at once they are insightful.» (7:201)
أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن أحمد بن محمد، عن أبيه، عن ابن المغيرة، عن أبي الصباح الكناني، عن أبي بصير، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال
من أشد ما عمل العباد إنصاف المرء من نفسه ومؤاساة المرء أخاه وذكر الله على كل حال. قال: قلت أصلحك الله وما وجه ذكر الله على كل حال؟ قال يذكر الله عند المعصية يهم بها فيحول ذكر الله بينه وبين تلك المعصية، وهو قول الله عز وجل: " إن الذين اتقوا إذا مسهم طائف من الشيطان تذكروا فإذا هم مبصرون ".
