9ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ قَالَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لِمُوسَى أَكْثِرْ ذِكْرِي بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَكُنْ عِنْدَ ذِكْرِي خَاشِعاً وَعِنْدَ بَلائِي صَابِراً وَاطْمَئِنَّ عِنْدَ ذِكْرِي وَاعْبُدْنِي وَلا تُشْرِكْ بِي شَيْئاً إِلَيَّ الْمَصِيرُ يَا مُوسَى اجْعَلْنِي ذُخْرَكَ وَضَعْ عِنْدِي كَنْزَكَ مِنَ الْبَاقِيَاتِ الصَّالِحَاتِ.

Published English translation

9. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from ibn Faddal from certain individuals of his people from those whom he has mentioned (in his book) from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, said to Moses, ‘Speak of Me a great deal during the day and night and be humble when speaking of Me, exercise patience with My misfortunes, be confident when speaking of Me, worship Me and do not consider anything as My partner. To Me is the way. O Moses, consider Me as your savings and keep your treasures with Me in the form of charitable trust.’”
