حدثنا أبو الحسن، قال: حدثنا علي بن أحمد الطبري، قال: حدثنا أبو سعيد، قال: حدثنا خراش، قال: حدثنا مولاي أنس، قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: لذكر الله عز وجل بالغدو والآصال خير من حطم السيوف في سبيل الله عز وجل. - يعني فمن ذكر الله عز وجل بالغدو ويذكر ما كان منه في ليلة من سوء عمله واستغفر الله وتاب إليه فإذا انتشر في ابتغاء ما قسم الله له انتشر وقد حطت عنه سيئاته وغفرت له ذنوبه، وإذا ذكر الله عز وجل بالآصال وهي العشيات راجع نفسه فيما كان منه في يومه ذلك من سرف على نفسه وإضاعة لأمر ربه فإذا ذكر الله عز وجل واستغفر الله تعالى وأناب راح إلى أهله وقد غفرت له ذنوبه يومه. وإنما تحمد الشهادة أيضا إذا كانت من تائب إلى الله استغفر من معصية الله عز وجل.
100.	We were told by Abu’l-Hasan, that he said: We were told by Ali bin Ahmad al-Tabari, that he said: We were told by Abu Sa’eed, that he said: We were told by Khirash, that he said: We were told by my master, Anas, that he said: The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said: Surely, to mention Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, at the mornings and the evenings is better than to demolish with swords for the sake of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He. It means that the one who mentions Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, at morning and then remembers what was issued from him (of actions) at that night of his of misdeeds, asks forgiveness from Allah and repents to Him, if he goes to seek what Allah has divided for him, he would do so, his misdeeds will be nullified from him and his sins will be forgiven. If he mentions Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, at the evenings, that are nights, he examines himself with regards to what was issued from him (of actions)  during that day of his of thriftlessness towards himself and waste of a matter relating to his Lord. If he then mentions Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, asks Allah, Exalted is He, for forgiveness and returns, he will go to his family after his sins from that day of his have been forgiven. Martyrdom is only praised as well if it is from one who has repented to Allah and sought forgiveness from disobedience to Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He.
