1. عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ رضي الله عنها أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم يَقُولُ: أَلَا أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِخِيَارِكُمْ؟ قَالُوا: بَلَى، يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ: خِيَارُكُمْ الَّذِينَ إِذَا رُءُوا ذُكِرَ اللَّهُ عزوجل.
Asma (ل) bint Yazid narrates that she heard the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) saying, “Shall I not inform you of the best people among you?” The Companions said, “Of course, O Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) .” He said, “The best people among you are those that mere seeing them inspires you to remember Allah.”

Asma (ل) bint Yazid narrates that the Holy Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “Shall I not tell you who the best among you are?” The Companions said, “Certainly, O Messenger of Allah.” He said, “They are the ones whose glimpse alone makes you remember Allah.”

Amr ibn Hamiq (رضی اللہ عنہ) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “The servant (of Allah) cannot realise the reality of faith until he gets angry for Allah’s sake and loves for Allah’s sake. When he does that, he experiences the reality of faith. Indeed, My beloved ones and My friends are those who are remembered when I am mentioned, and I am remembered when they are mentioned.”
8. عَنْ سَعِيْدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: سُئِلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم عَنْ أَوْلِيَاءِ اللهِ، فَقَالَ: الَّذِيْنَ إِذَا رُءُوا ذُكِرَ اللَّهُ عزوجل.

Abdullah ibn Abbas (رضی اللہ عنھما) narrates, “A man asked: ‘O Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) , who are the friends of Allah?’ He replied: ‘They are the people whose sight brings about Allah’s remembrance.’”

Chapter 27: The greatest favour of Allah (SWT) to a servant is to enable him remember Allah

10. عَنْ خَالِدٍ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ رضی الله عنه: قَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ يِتَصَدَّقُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ بِصَدَقَةٍ. فَمَا تَصَدَّقَ عَلَى عَبْدِهِ بِشَيْءٍ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ ذِكْرِهِ.
Khalid ibn Ma‘dān (رضی اللہ عنہ) said, “Indeed, Allah (SWT) grants charity every day, but He never blesses His servant with anything superior to His own remembrance.”1
11. عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ رضي الله عنه عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم قَالَ: مَا مِنْ يَّوْمٍ وَلاَ لَيْلَةٍ وَلاَ سَاعَةٍ إِلاَّ وَلِلَّهِ عزوجل فِيْهَا صَدَقَةٌ يَمُنُّ بِهَا عَلَى مِن يَّشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ. وَمَا مَنَّ عَلَى عَبْدٍ بِمِثْلِ أَن يُّلْهِمَهُ ذِكْرَهُ.
Abu Dharr (رضی اللہ عنہ) narrates that the Holy Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “Every moment of the day and night Allah (SWT) gives away charity to His servants. And Allah has not favoured any of His servants with charity superior to grant of ability to remember Allah.”2
12. عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم قَالَ: إِنَّ اللهَ يَقُولُ: يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، إِنَّكَ إِذَا ذَكَرْتَنِي شَكَرْتَنِي، وَإِذَا نَسِيْتَنِي كَفَرْتَنِي.
Abu Hurayrah (رضی اللہ عنہ) narrates from the Holy Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) that Allah (SWT) says, “O son of Adam! When you remember Me, you are thankful to Me, and when you forget Me, you are ungrateful to Me.”

Chapter 28: The world is redundant except for remembrance of Allah (SWT) and its contributors

13. عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم يَقُولُ: أَلَا إِنَّ الدُّنْيَا مَلْعُونَةٌ مَلْعُونٌ مَا فِيهَا إِلَّا ذِكْرُ اللَّهِ وَمَا وَالَاهُ وَعَالِمٌ أَوْ مُتَعَلِّمٌ.
Abu Hurayrah (رضی اللہ عنہ) narrates, “I heard the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) saying, ‘Be warned! Indeed this world and whatever it contains is redundant (and worth throwing away) except remembrance of Allah (SWT) and what contributes towards it and the teachers and the students.”
14. عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم: الدُّنْيَا مَلْعُونَةٌ مَلْعُونٌ مَا فِيهَا إِلَّا عَالِمٌ أَوْ مُتَعَلِّمٌ وَذِكْرُ اللَّهِ وَمَا وَالَاهُ.
Abdullah ibn Masūd (رضی اللہ عنہ) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “The world and everything in it is cursed except for a teacher, a student, remembrance of Allah and what assists in dhikr.”
15. عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاء رضي الله عنه قَالَ: الدُّنْيَا مَلْعُونَةٌ مَلْعُونٌ مَا فِيْهَا إِلاَّ ذِكْرُ الله وَمَا أَدَّى إِلَى ذِكْرِ اللهِ وَالْعَالِمُ وَالْمُتَعَلِّمُ فِي الْأَجْرِ سَوَاءٌ. وَسَائِرُ النَّاسِ هَمَجٌ لاَ خَيْرَ فِيْهِمْ.
Abu Darda (رضی اللہ عنہ) said, “The world and whatever it contains is cursed (worth abstaining from) except for remembrance of Allah (SWT), whatever assists towards remembrance of Allah (SWT); and both a scholar and a student fall under the same category. The rest of the people (who are heedless of His remembrance) are mean; there is no good in them.”

Chapter 29: A rememberer among the heedless is like a lamp in the dark

16. عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ رضي الله عنهما قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم: ذَاكِرُ اللهِ فِي الْغَافِلِينَ كَالْمُقَاتِلِ عَنِ الْفَارِّيْنَ، وَذَاكِرُ اللهِ فِي الْغَافِلِينَ كَالْمِصْبَاحِ فِي الْبَيْتِ الْمُظْلِمِ، وَذَاكِرُ الله فِي الْغَافِلِينَ يُعَرِّفُهُ اللهُ مَقْعَدَهُ وَلاَ يُعَذِّبُ بَعْدَهُ، وَذَاكِرُ الله فِي الْغَافِلِينَ لَهُ مِنَ الْأَجْرِ بِعَدَدِ كَلِّ فَصِيْحٍ فِي السُّوْقِ وَأَعْجَمِيٍّ، وَذَاكِرُ الله فِي الْغَافِلِينَ يَنْظُرُ اللهُ نَظْرَةً لاَ يُعَذِّبُهُ اللهُ بَعْدَهَا أَبَدًا، وَذَاكِرُ اللهِ فِي السُّوقِ لَهُ بِكُلِّ شَعْرَةٍ نُورٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يُلْقِي اللهُ.
Abdullah ibn Umar (رضی اللہ عنھما) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “The one who remembers Allah (SWT) among those who are negligent is like the one who goes on fighting after others have deserted. The one who remembers Allah (SWT) among the neglectful is like a lamp in a dark house. The one who remembers Allah (SWT) among the neglectful is shown his place in Paradise by Allah (SWT) during his lifetime and Allah (SWT) will not punish him after that. The one who remembers Allah (SWT) among those who are negligent is blessed with the reward equal to the number of human beings and animals. Allah (SWT) looks at the one who remembers Allah (SWT) among the neglectful in such a way that He will never punish him after that. The one who remembers Allah (SWT) in the market place will have light on every hair of his body on the Day of Resurrection.”
17. عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رضي الله عنهما عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم: ذَاكِرُ اللهِ فِي الْغَافِلِينَ بِمَنْـزِلَةِ الصَّابِرِ فِي الْفَارِّينَ.
Abdullah ibn Masūd (رضی اللہ عنھما) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “The one who remembers Allah (SWT) among the neglectful is like the steadfast one when others have fled (from the battlefield).”

Abu Musa (رضی اللہ عنہ) narrates that the Holy Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “He who remembers his Lord and he who does not do are like the living and the dead.”
19. عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى رضي الله عنه عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم قَالَ: مَثَلُ الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي يُذْكَرُ اللَّهُ فِيهِ وَالْبَيْتِ الَّذِي لَا يُذْكَرُ اللَّهُ فِيهِ مَثَلُ الْحَيِّ وَالْمَيِّتِ.
Abu Musa (رضی اللہ عنہ) narrates that the Holy Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “The house in which Allah (SWT) is remembered and the one in which Allah (SWT) is not remembered are like the living and the dead.”
20. عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ رضي الله عنهما قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم: ذَاكِرُ اللهِ فِي الْغَافِلِينَ مَثَلُ الَّذِي يُقَاتِلُ عَنِ الْفَارِّينَ، وَذِاكِرُ اللهِ فِي الْغَافِلِينَ مَثَلُ الشَّجَرَةِ الْخَضْرَاءِ فِي وَسَطِ الشَّجَرِ الَّذِي قَدْ تَحاتَ يَعْنِيْ مِنَ الضَّرِيْبِ، وَذَاكِرُ اللهِ فِي الْغَافِلِينَ يُعَرِّفُهُ اللهُ مَقْعَدَهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ.
Abdullah ibn Umar (رضی اللہ عنھما) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “The one who remembers Allah (SWT) among the neglectful is like the one who goes on fighting when others have deserted. The one who remembers Allah (SWT) among those who are negligent is like a green tree among dry trees. And Allah shows the one who makes mention of Allah among the neglectful his resting place in Paradise.”
21. عَنْ وَهْبٍ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: قَالَ لُقْمَانُ لاِبْنِهِ: يَا بُنَيَّ، إِنَّ مَثَلَ أَهْلِ الذِّكْرِ وَالْغَفْلَةِ كَمَثَلِ النُّورِ وَالظُّلْمَةِ.
Wahb ibn Munabbih (رضی اللہ عنہ) narrates that Luqman said to his son, “O my son! The example of those who remember Allah (SWT) and those who are neglectful is that of light and darkness.”

22. عن عَمْرٍ بْنِ عَنْبَسَةَ رضي الله عنه، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! فَهَلْ مِنْ دَعْوَةٍ أَقْرَبُ مِنْ أُخْرَى، أَوْ سَاعَةٍ؟ قَالَ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم: نَعَمْ، إِنَّ أَقْرَبَ مَا يَكُونُ الرَّبُّ مِنَ الْعَبْدِ جَوْفَ اللَّيْلِ الآخِرِ. فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تَكُونَ مِمَّنْ يَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ فِي تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ، فَكُنْ.
Amr ibn Abasah (رضی اللہ عنہ) narrates, “I submitted, ‘O Messenger of Allah! (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) Is there any prayer or any specific time which brings more closeness to Allah than any other prayer or time?’ The Holy Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, ‘Yes, indeed Allah (SWT) comes nearest to a servant in the last hours of the night. If you are able to be among those who remember Allah (SWT) at that hour, do so.’”1
23. عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رضي الله عنه أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم بَعَثَ بَعْثًا قِبَلَ نَجْدٍ فَغَنِمُوا غَنَائِمَ كَثِيرَةً فَأَسْرَعُوا الرَّجْعَةَ. فَقَالَ رَجَلٌ مِمَّنْ لَمْ يَخْرُجْ: مَا رَأَيْنَا بَعْثًا أَسْرَعَ رَجْعَةً وَلَا أَفْضَلَ غَنِيمَةً مِنْ هَذَا الْبَعْثِ. فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم: أَلَا أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى قَوْمٍ أَفْضَلُ غَنِيمَةً وَأَسْرَعُ رَجْعَةً؟ قَوْمٌ شَهِدُوا صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ ثُمَّ جَلَسُوا يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ حَتَّى طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ الشَّمْسُ أُولَئِكَ أَسْرَعُ رَجْعَةً وَأَفْضَلُ غَنِيمَةً.
Umar ibn Khattab (رضی اللہ عنہ) narrates that the Holy Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) sent an army to Najd. They took plenty of spoils of war and came back quickly. A man who had not gone out remarked, “We have never seen an army return more quickly and bring finer spoils of war than this one.” The Holy Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “Shall I not tell you about people who have a most excellent booty and a most excellent return?” They are the people who offer the fajr (morning) prayer in congregation and then sit to remember Allah (SWT) until the sunrise. They have the quickest return and the most excellent booty.”
24. عَنْ مُعَاذٍ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلي الله عليه وآله وسلم: مَنْ صَلَّى صَلاَةَ الْفَجْرِ ثُمَّ قَعَدَ يَذْكُرُ اللهَ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ، وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ.

Abu Umāmah (رضی اللہ عنہ) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said, “Whoever offers the morning (fajr) prayer in congregation, then sits remembering Allah (SWT) until the sun rises, then prays two cycles of (ishrāq) prayer will return with the reward of a Pilgrimage (hajj) and a Visitation (umrah).”
26. عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: إِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ لاَ تَزَالُ أَلْسِنَتُهُمْ رَطْبَةً مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللهِ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ وَهُمْ يَضْحَكُونَ.
