وَقَالَ عَبْدٌ: حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، ثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ أَبِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
« مَنْ عَجَزَ مِنْكُمْ عَنِ اللَّيْلِ أَنْ يُكَابِدَهُ، وَبَخِلَ بِالْمَالِ أَنْ يُنْفِقَهُ، وَجَبُنَ عَنِ الْعَدُوِّ أَنْ يُجَاهِدَهُ، فَلْيُكْثِرْ ذِكْرَ اللهِ تَعَالَى
