Abu Darda narrated that Rasool Allah said,
“Should I not tell you of such a thinga which are
the best and purest deeds in the court of your
Lord, high in ranks (darajat), better for you then
spending gold and silver (in Allah’s path), and
better than slaying the neck of the enemy during
war? The Sahaba said, “Yes, Oh Rasool Allah! .”
He said, “It is Zikr of Allah.” (Tirmizi)
Abu Huraira narrated that Rasool Allah
said, “Any gathering in which people sit and do
not do Zikr of Allah and do not send Durood upon
their Prophet is of loss for them. If Allah wills,
give them azab (punishment) and if wills, forgive
them.” (Tirmizi)
Abu Huraira narrated that Rasool Allah
said, “Allah Tabaraka wa Ta’ala says when a
person moves his lips for Zikr of Allah, I am with
him. “ (Bukhari)
Abu Huraira narrated that Rasool Allah
said, “Allah Tabaraka wa Ta’ala says I am closer
to my slave than his supposition of which he
keeps of me. And when he/her does Zikr of Allah,
I am with him/her. If he does Zikr in his heart, I
do his Zikr near MY proximity (closeness) and if
he does Zikr in a gathering, I mention him in a
gathering Afdhal (better) than it. (Bukhari)
Abu Musa Ash'ari narrated that Rasool
Allah said, “He/She who does Zikr of Allah and
he/she who doesn’t, their example is of like an
alive and a dead. (Bukhari)
Abu Huraira said that Rasool Allah said,
“The angels look for those who do Zikr of Allah
on the paths. When they find those who are doing
Zikr of Allah then they call each other, “Come,
your desired has been found.” Then those angels
cover those are doing Zikr of Allah up to the skies
of this world with their wings. And Allah Rabbul
Izzat says about them to those angels “What are
my slave doing?
” Though Allah knows more than
those angels. The angels say, “Those people are
doing your Tasbeeh, Tahmeed, and Tamjeed.” Rab
Ta’ala says, “Have they seen me?” The angels
say, “We swear by your pure Entity, they have not
seen you.” Rab Ta’ala says to them, “If they had
seen me then what would be their state?”
The
angels say, “If they could’ve seen you then they
would do your Tamjeed and your Tasbeeh even
more."
Rab Ta’ala says, “What slaves are asking from
me?
” The angels say, “They are asking for Jannat
from you.” Rab Ta’ala says, “Have they seen
Jannat?” The angels say, “We swear by Your Pure
Entity, they have not seen Jannat.” Rab Ta’ala
says, “If they had seen Jannat then what would
be their state?” The angels say, “If these people
had seen jannat then their greed, desire, and
inclination for it would increase. Rab Ta’ala says,
“What else are they doing?”
The angels say,
“They are seeking refuge.” Rab Ta’ala says, “From
what are they seeking refuge?” The angels say,
“They are seeking refuge from Hell.” Rab Ta’ala
says, “Have they seen Hell?” The angels say, “Oh
Rab, we swear by Your Pure Entity, they have not
seen it.” Rab Ta’ala, “If they had seen it then
what would be their state?” The angels say, “If
they had seen it then they would run even further
away from it and fear it even more.
Rab Ta’ala says, “angels, Be witnesses that I
have forgiven them.” An angel says, “There is one
person amongst them who is not part of those
who do Zikr, he is there for some necessity of
his/her.” Rab Ta’ala says, “These are such people
that even those sitting among them are not
deprived.” (Bukhari)
Anas narrated that Rasool Allah said,
“When you pass by gardens of paradise, eat fruits
of them. The Sahaba said, “What are the gardens
of Paradise?” He said, “The gatherings of
Zikr.” (Tirmizi)
Abu Huraira narrated Abu Saeed Khudri
said that Rasool Allah said, “Whenever a
Jama'at (a group of people) sits for Zikr of Allah,
the angels surround it. Blessing covers that
Jama'at. And peace and calm descends on them.
And Allah mentions them to the angels present in
HIS court. (Muslim)
Ameer Muaviah narrated that the Rasool Allah
passed by a Jama'at and asked them, “Why have
you gathered here?” Some people of the Jammat
replied, “We have gathered here for the Zikr and
Hamd of Allah because by guiding us towards
Islam He did favor on us. Rasool Allah said, “By
Allah, have you gathered only for this (purpose)?”
They said, “By Allah, we have gathered here only
for such purpose. Rasool Allah said, “I did not
give you oath because of any imputation (doubt)
rather it is because Jibraeel came to me and told
me that Allah Azzawajal boasts of you in the
gathering of the angels. (Muslim)
Abdullah Bin Abbas narrated that Rasool
Allah said, “The Shaitan sticks to the heart of the
child of Adam. When he does Zikr of Allah, he
(the Shaitan) runs away from him. And when the
child of Adam becomes careless from the Zikr of
Allah, the Shaitan begins to put was-wasah (evil
suggestions) into his heart. (Bukhari)
Abdullah Bin Umar narrated that Rasool
Allah said, “Don’t have a conversation [without]
Zikr of Allah. Because talking too much without
Zikr of Allah is the reason for the heart’s
hardness and wretchedness. And that person
becomes distant from Allah in whose heart there
is wretchedness. (Tirmizi)
Abudullah Bin Bisr narrated that one person
asked, “Ya Rasool Allah! There are many
commands on me of Islam. Tell me of such a
thing which I may hold on to steadfast. Rasool
Allah replied, “Always keep your tongue wet from
Zikr of Allah.” (Tirmizi)
Abdullah Bin Bisr narrated that a villager
came to the Holy Court of Rasool Allah and
asked, “Which man is the best?” Rasool Allah
said, “It is the luck and good-fortune of that
person whose life is long and his deeds are
good.” He asked, “Ya Rasool Allah! Which deed is
the best?” Rasool Allah said, “Your tongue be wet
from Zikr of Allah when you part from this world.
(Tirmizi)
Muaaz bin Jabal narrated that Rasool Allah
said, “The people of Jannat will only regret that
moment which had been empty of Zikr of
Allah.” (Beheqi)
