Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “Nothing is a harder (divine) test for a believer than giving charity from what he has earned from God the Almighty, being just and frequently remembering God.” He then said
“I do not mean that you should often say praises of God, but remember God in what you do regarding what is allowed and what is forbidden.”
ومن كتاب: قال أبو عبد الله (عليه السلام): ما ابتلي المؤمن بشئ أشد من المواساة في ذات الله عز وجل، والإنصاف من نفسه، وذكر الله كثيرا، ثم قال: أما إني لا أقول " سبحان الله والحمد لله " ولكن ذكره عند [ما أحل وذكره عند] ما حرم.
