حدثنا محمد بن الحسن بن أحمد بن الوليد - رضي الله عنه - قال: حدثنا محمد بن الحسن الصفار، عن أحمد بن محمد، عن أبيه، عن النضر، عن أبي الحسين، عن أبي بصير، قال: سألت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام عن قول الله عز وجل: " اتقوا الله حق تقاته " قال: يطاع فلا يعصى ويذكر فلا ينسى، ويشكر فلا يكفر.
1. We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan bin Ahmad bin Waleed, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan al-Saffar, from Ahmad bin Muhammed, from his father, from Nadhr, from Abul Hussain that Abu Basir said: "I asked Abu 'Abdillah (al-Sadiq) (as) about the saying of Allah (swt): «Fear Allah how He should truly be feared» (3:102), he said: 'He should be obeyed and not disobeyed, remembered and not forgotten, thanked and not [shown] ingratitude.'"
