Arabic text

حدثنا الحسين بن سعيد قال: حدثنا فضالة بن أيوب عن الحسين بن عثمان قال: حدثني رجل عن أبي حمزة قال: سمعت أبا جعفر عليه السلام يقول: ما من قطرة أحب إلى الله من قطرة دم في سبيل الله أو قطرة من دموع عين في سواد الليل من خشية الله وما من قدم أحب إلى الله من خطوة إلى ذي رحم أو خطوة يتم بها زحفا في سبيل الله وما من جرعة أحب إلى الله من جرعة غيظ أو جرعة يرد بها العبد مصيبته.

Translation

1.Al-Ḥusayn ibn Saʿīd narrated to us, “Faḍālah ibn Ayyūb narrated to us from al-Ḥusayn ibn ʿUthmān who said, ‘A man narrated to me from Abū Ḥamzah who said, “I heard Abū Jaʿfar (a) say, ‘There is no drop more beloved to Allah than the drop of blood [that is shed] in the way of Allah, or the teardrop that rolls down from the eye in the darkness of night, out of fear of Allah. And there is no step more beloved to Allah than the step taken towards a near relative, or a step by which a march in the way of Allah may be completed. And there is no gulp more beloved to Allah than the anger which is swallowed, or the gulp that is swallowed by a servant in response to his calamity [as he patiently bears it to please Allah].’”’”

Translation: Shaykh Tahir Ridha Jaffer — published with the edition, reproduced verbatim.
