8ـ عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ الْبَزَّازِ قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) أَ لا أُخْبِرُكَ بِأَشَدِّ مَا فَرَضَ الله عَلَى خَلْقِهِ ثَلاثٌ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ إِنْصَافُ النَّاسِ مِنْ نَفْسِكَ وَمُوَاسَاتُكَ أَخَاكَ وَذِكْرُ الله فِي كُلِّ مَوْطِنٍ أَمَا إِنِّي لا أَقُولُ سُبْحَانَ الله وَالْحَمْدُ لله وَلا إِلَهَ إِلا الله وَالله أَكْبَرُ وَإِنْ كَانَ هَذَا مِنْ ذَاكَ وَلَكِنْ ذِكْرُ الله جَلَّ وَعَزَّ فِي كُلِّ مَوْطِنٍ إِذَا هَجَمْتَ عَلَى طَاعَةٍ أَوْ عَلَى مَعْصِيَةٍ.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
8. Ali has narrated from his father from ibn Mahbub from Hisham ibn Salim from Zurara from al-Hassan al-Bazzaz who has said the following: “Once Abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام said to me, ‘Should I tell you about what Allah has emphatically made obligatory on His creatures (are three things)?’ I said, ‘Yes, please do so.’ The Imam said, ‘You must yield to justice for people against your own soul, cooperate with your fellow believers, and speak of and remember Allah in all places. I, however, do not mean thereby saying, ‘Glory belongs to Allah, all praise belongs to Allah, no one deserves to be worshipped except Allah, and Allah is greater than (can be described), although, it also is speaking of Allah. It is speaking of and remembering Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, in all places whenever you are faced with a deed of obedience or prohibition.’”
