2ـ حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ وُهَيْبِ بْنِ حَفْصٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ مَا اجْتَمَعَ فِي مَجْلِسٍ قَوْمٌ لَمْ يَذْكُرُوا الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرُونَا إِلا كَانَ ذَلِكَ الْمَجْلِسُ حَسْرَةً عَلَيْهِمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ثُمَّ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) إِنَّ ذِكْرَنَا مِنْ ذِكْرِ الله وَذِكْرِ عَدُوِّنَا مِنْ ذِكْرِ الشَّيْطَانِ.

Published English translation

2. Humayd ibn Ziyad has narrated from al-Hassan ibn Muhammad ibn Sama’a from Wahab ibn Hafs from abu Basir from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “If a people gather together in a place and do not make any remembrance of Allah, the Most Majestic and Glorious, and do not make any remembrance of us, that gathering will become a regret for them on the Day of Judgment.’ he then said, ‘Abu Ja’far (a.s.) has said, “Our remembrance is from the remembrance of Allah, and the remembrance of our enemies is the remembrance of Satan.’”
