Hadith on Dhikr: If good deeds are too difficult, remember Allah often

Ibn Abbas reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever is too weak among you to pray at night that he might fall down, too miserly with his wealth that he might spend it, or too fearful of the enemy that he might fight them, then let him remember Allah often.

عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُول اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيه وَسَلَّم مَنْ عَجَزَ مِنْكُمْ عَنِ اللَّيْلِ أَنْ يُكَابِدَهُ وَبَخِلَ بِالْمَالِ أَنْ يُنْفِقَهُ وَجَبُنَ عَنِ الْعَدُوِّ أَنْ يُجَاهِدَهُ فَلْيُكْثِرْ ذِكْرَ اللَّهِ
