The Sufficient (Vol 2) · Hadith 1754 (#Ḥadīth #4)

4ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا (عَلَيهِما السَّلام) قَالَ لا يَكْتُبُ الْمَلَكُ إِلا مَا سَمِعَ وَقَالَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَاذْكُرْ رَبَّكَ فِي نَفْسِكَ تَضَرُّعاً وَخِيفَةً فَلا يَعْلَمُ ثَوَابَ ذَلِكَ الذِّكْرِ فِي نَفْسِ الرَّجُلِ غَيْرُ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لِعَظَمَتِهِ.

4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad from Hariz from Zurara from one of the Imams who has said the following: “The angel writes down only what he hears and Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, has said, ‘Speak of your Lord deep within yourselves, humbly and privately. . . .’ (7:205) Thus, no one knows the reward for that act (of speaking deep within oneself) of Allah except Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, due to His greatness.’”
