وَقَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ أَبِي زَكَرِيَّا الْكُوفِيِّ ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ : إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى رَجُلًا عَنْ ثَلَاثٍ وَأَوْصَاهُ بِثَلَاثٍ ، فَأَمَّا الَّتِي نَهَاهُ عَنْهَا فَقَالَ : " لَا تَنْقُضْ عَهْدًا ، وَلَا تُعِنْ عَلَى نَقْضِهِ ، وَلَا تَبْغِ ، فَإِنَّ مَنْ بُغِيَ عَلَيْهِ لَيَنْصُرَنَّهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى ، وَإِيَّاكَ وَمَكْرَ السَّيِّئِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَحِيقُ الْمَكْرُ السَّيِّئُ إِلَّا بِأَهْلِهِ ، وَلَهُنَّ مِنَ اللهِ تَعَالَى طَالِبٌ " . وَأَمَّا الَّتِي أَوْصَاهُ بِهَا : " أَنْ تُكْثِرَ ذِكْرَ الْمَوْتِ ; فَإِنَّهُ يُسَلِّيكَ عَمَّا سِوَاهُ ، وَعَلَيْكَ بِالدُّعَاءِ ; فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَدْرِي مَتَى يُسْتَجَابُ لَكَ ، وَعَلَيْكَ بِالشُّكْرِ ; فَإِنَّهُ زِيَادَةٌ " . ثُمَّ قَرَأَ سُفْيَانُ : لَئِنْ شَكَرْتُمْ لأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ .
Abu Zakariyya al-Kufi narrates from a man that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade a man from three things and enjoined upon him three things. As for the things he (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade, he said: "Never break a covenant or pledge, nor help anyone in breaking a covenant; and never commit oppression or transgression, for whoever is oppressed, Allah Almighty will surely help him; and keep away from evil plots, scheming and deception, for the evil plot encompasses none but its own author; and for all these deeds there is One in the court of Allah Almighty who will take them to account." As for the things he (peace and blessings be upon him) enjoined upon him, they are: "Remember death often, for it will make you weary of all other things of the world and give your heart comfort; hold fast to supplication, for you do not know at what moment your supplication will be answered; and cling to gratitude, for it is a cause of increase in blessings." Then Imam Sufyan recited this verse: "If you are grateful, I will surely give you more." [Surah Ibrahim: 7]
Imam al-Bayhaqi mentioned this narration in Shu'ab al-Iman; its chain contains an unnamed (mubham) narrator, but supporting evidence for its various parts is abundantly found in other sahih hadith.
