يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اذْكُرُوا الَّلهَ ذِكْرًا كَثِيرًا
“O you who have believed, remember Allah with much remembrance” [33:41]
It was narrated by Mujahid, may Allah have mercy on him, who said: A man is not from those who remember Allah with much remembrance, until he remembers Allah (while) standing, sitting and lying down.
[الحلية (تهذيبه) ١١/٢]
Aon bin Abdullah, may Allah have mercy upon him said: Indeed every man has an action that is high ranking (sayed), and my high ranking action is remembrance.
[الحلية (تهذيبه) ٩٤/٢]
Aon bin Abdullah also said: Sittings of remembrance is a cure for the hearts.
[الحلية (تهذيبه) ٩٥/٢]
Attah bin Abi Rabbah, may Allah have mercy on him, said: whomsoever sits in the sittings of remembrance, Allah will expiate from him ten sittings of falsehood due to his sitting (of remembrance).
[الحلية (تهذيبه) ١٥/٢]
Abu Ubaydah, may Allah have mercy on him said: As long as a man’s heart is remembering Allah then he is in prayer. If he is in the market and he moves his lips he is more magnificent.
[الحلية (تهذيبه) ٨٦/٢]
Ka’ab رضي الله عنه said: Whomsoever increases in the remembrance of Allah, he liberated himself from hypocrisy.
[جامع العلوم والحكم / ٥٧٨]
Muad bin Jabal رضي الله تعالى عنه said: For me to glorify Allah 100 times [saying Allah Akbar (Allah is greater)], is more beloved to me than giving 100 dinars in charity.
[الزهد للإمام أحمد /٢٥٩]
May Allah make us from those who remember Allah with much remembrance.
