John Shaqi

قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مَا ابْتُلِيَ الْمُؤْمِنُ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ أَشَدَّ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ خِصَالٍ ثَلَاثٍ يُحْرَمُهَا قِيلَ وَ مَا هُنَّ قَالَ الْمُوَاسَاةُ فِي ذَاتِ يَدِهِ وَ الْإِنْصَافُ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ وَ ذِكْرُ اللَّهِ كَثِيراً أَمَا إِنِّي لَا أَقُولُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ لَكِنْ ذِكْرُ اللَّهِ عِنْدَ مَا أَحَلَّ لَهُ وَ ذِكْرُ اللَّهِ عِنْدَ مَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْهِ .


Translation

Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Asama who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The Believer is not Tested with anything more difficult upon him than three characteristics depriving him’. It was said, ‘And what are these?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The equalisation regarding what is in his hands, and the fairness from himself, and remembering Allah<sup>azwj</sup> a lot. But, I<sup>asws</sup> am not saying (that one should be saying), ‘Glory be to Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, and the Praise for Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, and there is no god except for Allah<sup>azwj</sup>’, but remembering Allah<sup>azwj</sup> during what is Permissible for him, and remembering Allah<sup>azwj</sup> during what is Prohibited upon him’.
