3ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ نَجَبَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ مَا مِنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ أَحَبَّ إِلَى الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنْ عَمَلٍ يُدَاوَمُ عَلَيْهِ وَإِنْ قَلَّ.
3. Abu Ali al-Ash’ari has narrated from ‘Isa ibn Ayyub from Ali ibn Mahziyar from Fadalah ibn Ayyub from Mu’awiyah ibn ‘Ammar from Najbah from abu Ja’far عليه السلام who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far عليه السلام has said, ‘There is nothing more beloved to Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, than a deed that is continued by a servant (of Allah) even though it is very little.’”
