Chapter 31: Allah will shelter His rememberer beneath His shade on the Day of Judgment

1. عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم قَالَ: سَبْعَةٌ يُظِلُّهُمْ اللَّهُ فِي ظِلِّهِ يَوْمَ لَا ظِلَّ إِلَّا ظِلُّهُ: الْإِمَامُ الْعَادِلُ، وَشَابٌّ نَشَأَ فِي عِبَادَةِ رَبِّهِ، وَرَجُلٌ قَلْبُهُ مُعَلَّقٌ فِي الْمَسَاجِدِ، وَرَجُلَانِ تَحَابَّا فِي اللَّهِ اجْتَمَعَا عَلَيْهِ وَتَفَرَّقَا عَلَيْهِ، وَرَجُلٌ طَلَبَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ ذَاتُ مَنْصِبٍ وَجَمَالٍ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَخَافُ اللَّهَ، وَرَجُلٌ تَصَدَّقَ أَخْفَى حَتَّى لَا تَعْلَمَ شِمَالُهُ مَا تُنْفِقُ يَمِينُهُ، وَرَجُلٌ ذَكَرَ اللَّهَ خَالِيًا فَفَاضَتْ عَيْنَاهُ.
Abu Huraira (رضی اللہ عنہ) narrates that the Holy Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “There are seven kinds of people whom Allah (SWT) will shelter beneath His shade on the day when there will be no shade except His: a just ruler; a young man grown up worshipping his Lord; a man whose heart is attached to mosques; two men who love one another, meet and separate only for the sake of Allah; a man whom a woman of rank and beauty invites towards sin but he says, ‘I fear Allah (SWT)’; a person who gives charity so secretly that his left hand does not know what his right hand has spent; a man who remembers Allah in solitude and his eyes well.”
2. عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم: إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ: أَيْنَ الْمُتَحَابُّونَ بِجَلَالِي؟ الْيَوْمَ أُظِلُّهُمْ فِي ظِلِّي يَوْمَ لَا ظِلَّ إِلَّا ظِلِّي.
Abu Huraira (رضی اللہ عنہ) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “Allah (SWT) will say on the Day of Resurrection, ‘Where are those who had mutual love for the sake of My glory? Today I will shelter them in My shade when there is no shade but Mine.’”

Chapter 32: The most beloved action in the sight of Allah (SWT) is excessive remembrance

3. عَنْ مُعَاذٍ رضي الله عنه عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ: أَيُّ الْجِهَادِ أَعْظَمُ أَجْرًا؟ قَالَ: أَكْثَرُهُمْ لِلَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى ذِكْرًا. قَالَ: فَأَيُّ الصَّائِمِينَ أَعْظَمُ أَجْرًا؟ قَالَ: أَكْثَرُهُمْ لِلَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى ذِكْرًا. ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ لَنَا الصَّلَاةَ وَالزَّكَاةَ وَالْحَجَّ وَالصَّدَقَةَ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم يَقُولُ: أَكْثَرُهُمْ لِلَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى ذِكْرًا. فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رضي الله عنه لِعُمَرَ رضی الله عنه: يَا أَبَا حَفْصٍ! ذَهَبَ الذَّاكِرُونَ بِكُلِّ خَيْرٍ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم: أَجَلْ.
Muādh (رضی اللہ عنہ) narrates from his father who narrates from the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) that a man asked him, “What kind of jihad is the greatest in terms of reward?” He answered, “The one in which Allah (SWT) is remembered greatly.” The man then asked, “Who receive the greatest reward among those who fast?” He replied, “Those of them who remember Allah too much.” The man then asked about prayer, zakah, pilgrimage and charity. The Messenger of Allah said regarding all of them, “The one in which Allah (SWT) is remembered excessively (holds the highest reward).” Upon this, Abu Bakr (رضی اللہ عنہ) said to Umar (رضی اللہ عنہ) , “O Abu Hafs! The people who remember Allah have taken all the rewards.” The Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “Of course.”
4. عَنْ مُعَاذٍ بْنِ جَبَلٍ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم أَكْثِرُوا ذِكْرَ اللهِ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ. فَلَيْسَ عَمَلٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَى اللهِ وَلاَ أَنْجَى لِعَبْدِهِ مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ.
Muādh ibn Jabal (رضی اللہ عنہ) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “Remember Allah (SWT) immensely in all circumstances. No action of man is more beloved to Allah (SWT) and serves more as a saviour in the world and the Hereafter than remembrance of Allah (SWT).”
5. عَنْ أُمِّ أَنَسٍ رضي الله عنها، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَوْصِنِي. قَالَ: اهْجُرِي الْمَعَاصِيَ، فَإِنَّهَا أَفْضَلُ الْهِجْرَةِ. وَحَافِظِي عَلَى الْفَرَائِضِ، فَإِنَّهَا أَفْضَلُ الْجِهَادِ. وَأَكْثِرِي مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ، فَإِنَّكِ لا تَأْتِينَ اللَّهَ بِشَيْءٍ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ ذِكْرِهِ.
Umm Anas (ل) narrates that she said, “O Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) , bless me with some advice.” He said, “Migrate from sins; that is the best migration. Take care of your duties; that is the best jihad (struggle). And remember Allah (SWT) exceedingly because you cannot present anything to Allah (SWT) which is dearer to Him than massive remembrance.”
6. عَنْ أُمِّ أَنَسٍ رضي الله عنها، قَالَتْ: أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم، فَقُلْتُ: جَعَلَكَ اللَّهُ فِي الرَّفِيقِ الأَعْلَى مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَأَنَا مَعَكَ، وَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، عَلِّمْنِي عَمَلا صَالِحًا أَعْمَلُهُ. فَقَالَ: أَقِيمِي الصَّلاةَ، فَإِنَّهَا أَفْضَلُ الْجِهَادِ، وَاهْجُرِي الْمَعَاصِي، فَإِنَّهَا أَفْضَلُ الْهِجْرَةِ، وَاذْكُرِي اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا، فَإِنَّهُ أَحَبُّ الأَعْمَالِ إِلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ تَلْقَينَهُ بِهِ.
Umm Anas (ل) narrates, “I visited the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) and said, ‘May Allah (SWT) grant you place in the Assembly of Supreme Companionship (ar-rafiq al-a‘lā) in Paradise and that I be with you!’ I then asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) , teach me a pious act so that I practise it (and avail your company in Paradise).’ He said, ‘Establish prayer because it is the best jihad; give up sins as that is the best hijrah (migration) and remember Allah (SWT) greatly for this action is the most beloved to Allah of the actions which you can forward to Him.’”
7. عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرَ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم: أَشَدُّ الأَعْمَالِ ثَلاَثَةٌ: ذِكْرُ اللهِ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ، وَالإنْصَافُ مِن نَفْسِكَ، وَالْمُوَاسَاةُ فِي الْمَالِ.
Abu Jafar (رضی اللہ عنہ) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “Three actions are the most powerful: to remember Allah persistently in all circumstances, to do justice on one’s part and to let people share one’s wealth.”
8. عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: أَشَدُّ الأعْمَال ثَلاَثَةٌ: إعْطَاءُ الْحَقِّ مِن نَفْسِكَ، وَذِكْرُ اللهِ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ، وَمُوَاسَاةُ الأخِ فِي الْمَالِ.
Ali (رضی اللہ عنہ) said، “Three deeds are most powerful: to give people their rights, to remember Allah (SWT) in every state and to let your brother share your wealth.”
9. عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رضي الله عنهما قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم: أَشَدُّ الأعْمَال ثَلاَثَةٌ: إنْصَافُ النَّاسِ مِن نَفْسِكَ، مُوَاسَاةُ الأخِ مِنْ مَالِكَ، وَذِكْرُ اللهِ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ.
Abdullah ibn Umar (رضی اللہ عنھما) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “Three deeds are most powerful: to do justice on your part, to let people share your wealth and to remember Allah in every circumstance.”
10. عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رضي الله عنهما فِي قَولِهِ (اُذکُرُواْ اللهَ ذِکْراً کَثِيراً) يَقُولُ: لاَ يَفْرِضُ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ فَرِيضَةً إِلاَّ جَعَلَ لَهَا حَدًّا مَعْلُومًا ثُمَّ عَذَّرَ أَهْلَهَا فِي حَالِ عُذْرٍ غَيْرَ الذِّكْرِ. فَإِنَّ اللهَ لَمْ يَجْعَلُ لَهُ حَدًّا يَنْتَهِي إِلَيْهِ وَلَمْ يُعَذِّرْ أَحَدًا فِي تَرْكِهِ إِلاَّ مَغْلُوبًا عَلَى عَقْلِهِ فَقَالَ: فَاذْكُرُوا اللهَ قِيَامًا وَقُعُودًا وَعَلُى جُنُوبِكُمْ بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ وَفِي السَّفَرِ وَالْحَضَرِ وَالْغِنَى وَالْفَقَرِ وَالصِّحَةِ وَالسّقْمِ وَالسِّرِّ وَالْعَلاَنِيَّةِ وَعَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ...
Abdullah ibn Abbas (رضی اللہ عنھما) elaborates the Qur’anic verse “Remember Allah excessively.” He says, “Whatever Allah has prescribed as obligatory is delineated. He exempted the handicapped for the peculiar handicaps except Allah’s remembrance. The obligation of remembrance is the only exception. Allah (SWT) has not set for it any limit, nor has He accepted any excuse to abandon it except the insane. He said, ‘Remember Allah (SWT) standing, sitting, on your sides during the night and the day, on land and at sea, during journey and at home, in poverty and in prosperity, in health and in sickness, secretly and openly – remember Him under all circumstances.’”
11. عَنْ مُقَاتِلٍ فِي قَولِهِ (اُذکُرُواْ اللهَ ذِکْراً کَثِيراً) قَالَ: بِاللِّسَانِ بِالتَّسْبِيْحِ وَالتَّكْبِيْرِ وَالتَّهْلِيْلِ وَالتَّحْمِيْدِ وَاذْكُرُوهُ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ.
Muqatal, interpreting Allah’s words “Remember Allah abundantly” says, “It means remember Him in every condition with the tongue (by saying) Subhan Allah (Allah is Pure), Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Supremely Great), la ilaha illallah (there is no God but Allah) and alhamdu lillah (Praise be to Allah).”

Chapter 33: The one granted a remembering tongue is blessed with the best of this world and the Hereafter

12. عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رضي الله عنهما، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم قَالَ: أَرْبَعٌ مَنْ أُعْطِيَهُنَّ أُعْطِيَ خَيْرَ الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ: قَلْبًا شَاكِرًا، وَلِسَانًا ذَاكِرًا، وَبَدَنًا عَلَى الْبَلاءِ صَابِرًا، وَزَوْجَةً لا تَبْغِيهِ خَوْنًا فِي نَفْسِهَا وَلا مَالِهِ.
Abdullah ibn Abbas (رضی اللہ عنھما) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “Whoever has been granted four things has been blessed with the best of this world and the Hereafter: a grateful heart, a tongue that remembers Allah (SWT), a body which is patient during suffering, and a wife who is not unfaithful to her husband and is not dishonest with regard to his property.”
13. عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ رضي الله عنه قَالَ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ (وَالَّذِينَ يَكْنِزُونَ الذَّهَبَ وَالْفِضَّةَ) قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم فِي بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ. فَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ: أُنْزِلَ فِي الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ مَا أُنْزِلَ. لَوْ عَلِمْنَا أَيُّ الْمَالِ خَيْرٌ فَنَتَّخِذَهُ! فَقَالَ: أَفْضَلُهُ لِسَانٌ ذَاكِرٌ وَقَلْبٌ شَاكِرٌ وَزَوْجَةٌ مُؤْمِنَةٌ تُعِينُهُ عَلَى إِيمَانِهِ.
Thawban (رضی اللہ عنہ) narrates, “We were with the Holy Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) on one of his journeys when the verse ‘…those who gather gold and silver…’ was revealed. One of his Companions said, ‘This verse has come down regarding gold and silver. Would that we knew what wealth is best so that we might acquire it!’ The Holy Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, ‘The best wealth is a tongue which remembers Allah (SWT), a heart which is grateful and a believing wife who assists him in his faith.’”
14. عَنْ مُعَاذٍ رضي الله عنه أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم عَنْ أَفْضَلِ الْإِيمَانِ. قَالَ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم: أَنْ تُحِبَّ لِلَّهَ وَتُبْغِضَ لِلَّهِ وَتُعْمِلَ لِسَانَكَ فِي ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ. قَالَ: وَمَاذَا، يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: وَأَنْ تُحِبَّ لِلنَّاسِ مَا تُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِكَ وَتَكْرَهَ لَهُمْ مَا تَكْرَهُ لِنَفْسِكَ.
Muādh ibn Anas (رضی اللہ عنہ) narrates that he asked the Holy Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) what was the most excellent aspect of faith. He replied, “That you should love for Allah’s sake and hate for Allah’s sake, and that your tongue should remain busy in remembering Allah (SWT).” Muādh (رضی اللہ عنہ) further asked, “Anything else, O Messenger of Allah?” He said, “That you should like for others what you like yourself, and dislike for others what you dislike yourself.”
15. عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ رضي الله عنه، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم لِمُعَاذِ بن جَبَلٍ رضی الله عنه: يَا مُعَاذُ، قَلْبًا شَاكِرًا، وَلِسَانًا ذَاكِرًا، وَزَوْجَةً صَالِحَةً تُعِينُكَ عَلَى أَمْرِ دُنْيَاكَ وَدِينِكَ خَيْرُ مَا اكْتَسَبَهُ النَّاسُ.
Abu Umāmah (رضی اللہ عنہ) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said to Muādh ibn Anas (رضی اللہ عنہ) , “O Muādh, a grateful heart, a tongue which remembers Allah (SWT), and a wife who helps you with your worldly and religious matters are the best of what people can acquire.”
16. عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رضي الله عنهما قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم: لاَ تُكْثِرُوا الْكَلَامَ بِغَيْرِ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ، فَإِنَّ كَثْرَةَ الْكَلَامِ بِغَيْرِ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ قَسْوَةٌ لِلْقَلْبِ. وَإِنَّ أَبْعَدَ النَّاسِ مِنْ اللَّهِ الْقَلْبُ الْقَاسِي.
Abdullah ibn Umar (رضی اللہ عنھما) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “Do not talk a lot without remembrance of Allah (SWT), because much talk without remembrance of Allah (SWT) is hardness of heart. And the one who is farthest from Allah is he who has a hard heart.”
17. عَنْ جُلاَّسِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو سِنَان رضي الله عنه عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم قَالَ: إنَّ لِكُلِّ سَاعٍ غَايَةٌ وَغَايَةُ ابْنِ آدَمَ الْمَوْتُ. فَعَلَيْكُمْ بِذِكْرِ اللهِ فَإنَّهُ يُسْهِلُكُمْ وَيَرْغَبُكُمْ فِي الآخِرَةِ.
Jalas ibn Amr Sanan (رضی اللہ عنہ) narrates that the Holy Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “Everyone who strives has an end and the end of Adam’s son is death. So, you must remember Allah (SWT) because it will ease your end (i.e. death) for you and will incline you towards the Hereafter.”

Chapter 34: People of Paradise will regret every moment spent without remembrance of Allah

18. عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رضي الله عنها قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم: مَا مِنْ سَاعَةٍ تَمُرُّ بِابْنِ آدَمَ لَمْ يَذْكُرِ اللهَ فِيْهَا إلاَّ تَحَسَّرَ عَلَيْهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ.
Āisha (ل) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “On the Day of Resurrection man will regret every moment he spends without remembering Allah (SWT).”
19. عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ رضي الله عنه، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم: لَيْسَ يَتَحَسَّرُ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ إِلا عَلَى سَاعَةٍ مَرَّتْ بِهِمْ لَمْ يَذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ فِيهَا.
Muādh ibn Jabal (رضی اللہ عنہ) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “The people of Paradise will not regret anything except the moment which they spent without remembering Allah (SWT).”
20. عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم: مَا مِنْ قَوْمٍ يَقُومُونَ مِنْ مَجْلِسٍ لاَ يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ فِيهِ إِلَّا قَامُوا عَنْ مِثْلِ جِيفَةِ حِمَارٍ وَكَانَ لَهُمْ حَسْرَةً.
Abu Huraira (رضی اللہ عنہ) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “The collection of people who leave a remembrance session without remembering Allah (SWT) are like a dead ass and this (state of theirs) is regrettable.”
21. عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم قَالَ: مَا جَلَسَ قَوْمٌ مَجْلِسًا فَتَفَرَّقُوا عَنْ غَيْرِ ذِكْرٍ إِلَّا تَفَرَّقُوا عَنْ مِثْلِ جِيفَةِ حِمَارٍ وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ الْمَجْلِسُ عَلَيْهِمْ حَسْرَةً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ.
According to Abu Huraira (رضی اللہ عنہ) the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “The people who sit in a remembrance assembly and disperse without remembering Allah are like a dead donkey and this assembly will lament on them on the Day of Resurrection.”
22. عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَنْ قَعَدَ مَقْعَدًا لَمْ يَذْكُرِ اللَّهَ فِيهِ كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ اللَّهِ تِرَةٌ، وَمَنِ اضْطَجَعَ مَضْجَعًا لَا يَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ فِيهِ كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ اللَّهِ تِرَةٌ.
Abu Huraira (رضی اللہ عنہ) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “He who sits in a place where Allah is not remembered runs into a loss decreed by Allah. And he who lies on a bed where Allah is not remembered he also runs into a loss decreed by Allah.”
23. عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم قَالَ: مَا جَلَسَ قَوْمٌ مَجْلِسًا لَمْ يَذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ فِيهِ وَلَمْ يُصَلُّوا عَلَى نَبِيِّهِمْ إِلَّا كَانَ عَلَيْهِمْ تِرَةً. فَإِنْ شَاءَ عَذَّبَهُمْ وَإِنْ شَاءَ غَفَرَ لَهُمْ.
Abu Huraira (رضی اللہ عنہ) narrates from the Holy Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) , “The people who sit in an assembly but do not remember Allah (SWT) and do not send blessings upon their Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) will be seized. Then if Allah desires He may punish them and if He wills He may forgive them.”
24. عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم قَالَ: مَا قَعَدَ قَوْمٌ مَقْعَدًا لَا يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ عزوجل وَيُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم إِلَّا كَانَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَسْرَةً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَإِنْ دَخَلُوا الْجَنَّةَ لِلثَّوَابِ.
Abu Huraira (رضی اللہ عنہ) narrates from the Holy Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) , “If a people sit in a gathering but do not remember Allah (SWT) nor send blessings upon the Holy Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) , they will deplore (this loss) on the Resurrection Day even if they enter Paradise as reward for their piety.”
25. عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم: مَا مِنْ قَوْمٍ اجْتَمَعُوا فِي مَجْلِسٍ فَتَفَرَّقُوا وَلَمْ يَذْكُرُوا اللهَ إلاَّ كَانَ ذَلِكَ الْمَجْلِسُ حَسْرَةً عَلَيْهِمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ.
Abdullah ibn Mugaffal (رضی اللہ عنہ) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “If some people gather in an assembly and disperse without remembering Allah this assembly will deplore and regret them on the Day of Resurrection.”

Chapter 35: Remembrance of Allah (SWT) illumines hearts

26. عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ رضي الله عنهما عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم أنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ صِقَالَةً وَأنَّ صِقَالَةَ الْقُلُوبِ ذِكْرُ اللهِ. وَمَا مِنْ شَيءٍ أَنْجَى مِنْ عَذَابِ اللهِ مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللهِ. قَالُوا: وَلاَ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيْلِ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: وَلَو أنْ تَضْرِبَ بِسَيْفِكَ حَتَّى يَنْقَطِعَ.
Abdullah ibn Umar (رضی اللہ عنھما) narrates that the Holy Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) used to say, “Everything has a shiner that makes it shine and indeed the shiner of hearts is remembrance of Allah (SWT). There is no greater savior than remembrance of Allah to deliver from Allah’s torment. The Companions asked, “Not even jihad in the path of Allah?” He replied, “No, even if you wield your sword until it is broken.”
27. قَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ رضی الله عنه: إنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيءٍ جَلاَءً وَإنَّ جَلاَءَ الْقُلُوبِ ذِكْرُ اللهِ عزوجل.
Abu Darda (رضی اللہ عنہ) states, “There is a shiner for everything and for hearts it is remembrance of Allah (SWT).”
28. عَنْ عَوْنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: ذِكْرُ اللهِ صِقَالُ الْقُلُوبِ.
Awn ibn Abdullah (رضی اللہ عنہ) states, “Remembrance of Allah (SWT) is a shiner of hearts.”
29. عَنْ أبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم: مَنْ أَكْثَرَ ذِكْرَ اللهِ فَقَدَ بَرِءَ مِنَ النِّفَاقِ.
Abu Huraira (رضی اللہ عنہ) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “Whoever remembers Allah (SWT) excessively is purified of hypocrisy.”
