Hadith 325
۞
4. My father, may Allah grant him mercy, said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, from Ahmad bin Muhammed, from Ibn Faddal, from Ali bin ‘Aqaba, from Abu’l-Jaroud, Mundhri al-Kindi, from Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, that he said
The most difficult of acts are three: Fairness towards people from yourself until you are not pleased for yourself, from them, with anything except that you are pleased for them, from yourself, likewise; your consolation with a brother with regards to property; and mentioning Allah in all cases. It is not (to say) «Glory be to Allah, and Praise be to Allah, and there is no god but Allah, and Allah is Greater» only, however, (it is that) whenever something comes to you which Allah has ordered to, you take it, and when something comes to you which Allah has forbidden, you abandon it.
أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن أحمد بن محمد، عن ابن فضال عن علي بن عقبة، عن أبي جارود المنذر الكندي عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال
أشد الأعمال ثلاثة: إنصاف الناس من نفسك حتى لا ترضى لها منهم بشئ إلا رضيت لهم منها بمثله، ومؤاساتك الأخ في المال، وذكر الله على كل حال. ليس " سبحان الله والحمد لله ولا إله إلا الله والله أكبر " فقط ولكن إذا ورد عليك شئ أمر الله به أخذت به وإذا ورد عليك شئ نهى عنه تركته.
