The Book of Asceticism · Hadith 53 (#Ḥadīth #27)

محمد بن سنان عن يوسف بن عمران عن يعقوب بن شعيب قال: سمعت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام يقول: إن الله أوحى إلى آدم عليه السلام انى جامع لك الكلام كله في أربع كلم قال: يا رب وما هن؟ فقال: واحدة لي وواحدة لك وواحدة فيما بيني وبينك وواحدة فيما بينك وبين الناس فقال: يا رب بينهن لي حتى اعمل بهن قال: إما التي لي فتعبدني لا تشرك بي شيئا واما التي لك فأجزيك بعملك أحوجك ما تكون إليه واما التي بيني وبينك فعليك الدعاء وعلى الإجابة واما التي بينك وبين الناس فترضى للناس ما ترض لنفسك.

27.Muḥammad ibn Sinān narrated from Yūsuf ibn ʿImrān, from Yaʿqūb ibn Shuʿayb who said, “I heard Abā ʿAbdillāh say, ‘Verily Allah revealed to Ādam , “I have gathered for you all ordinances in four statements.” He asked, “What are they, O Lord?” He said, “One is for Me, one is for you, one is between Me and you, and one is between you and the people.” He (Ādam) said, “Explain them to me, O Lord, so that I may act upon them.” He said, “As for that which is for Me, it is that you worship Me and do not ascribe anything as a partner to Me. As for that which is for you, it is that I will recompense you for your actions when you are most in need of it. As for that which is between Me and you, it is upon you to supplicate to Me and it is upon Me to answer you. As for that which is between you and the people, it is that you should like for the people what you like for yourself.”’”
