Chapter: The most important duty Allah has imposed 4 - قال: أخبرني أبو القاس٠د، عن أبيه، عن سعد بن عبد الله، عن أح٠د بن عيسى، عن الحسن بن ٠، عن زرارة بن أعين [عن الحسن البزاز] ، عن أبي عبد الله جعفر بن ٠قال: ألا أخبرك بأشد ٠ا فرض الله على خلقه؟ قلت: بلى، قال: إنصاف الناس ٠واساة أخيك ، وذكر الله في كل حال.

أ٠ا إني لا أريد بالذكر سبحان الله والح٠د لله ولا إله إلا الله والله أكبر، وإن كان هذا ٠ن ذلك ولكن ذكر الله في كل ٠فيه على طاعة الله، أو ٠4.

He said: Abul Qasim Ja’far ibn Muhammad reported to me from his father, from Sa’d ibn Abdillah, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa from al-Hasan ibn Mahboob from Hisham ibn Salim, from Zurarah ibn A’ayan (from al-Hasan al-Bazzaz), that: Abu Abdillah Ja’far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq, peace be upon him, said: "May I not inform you about the most important duty Allah has imposed upon His creation?" I said: "Please do." He said: "To treat people justly, equal to yourself, and to grant preference to your brother; and to remember Allah in every situation.

And by remembering, I do not mean chanting: ’Glory be to Allah’ and ’Praise be to Allah’ and ’There is no god but Allah’ and ’Allah is great’, altogether it is a part of remembering. But to remember Allah in every situation means to be invincible in matter of obedience to Allah or sinning against Him."
