قَالَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللّٰهُ عَنْهُ: >أَشَدُّ الْأَعْمَالِ ثَلَاثَةٌ: إِعْطَاءُ الْحَقِّ مِنْ نَفْسِكَ، وَذِكْرُ اللهِ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ، وَمُوَاسَاةُ الْأَخِ فِي الْمَال<
Translation
‘Alī bin Abī Ṭālib [d. 40H] (may Allāh be pleased with him) said: “The most difficult deeds to carry out are three: Giving the people their rights that are due upon you, remembering Allāh in all situations, and to help your brother with your wealth.”
