قال تعالى: {وَالذَّاكِرِينَ اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَالذَّاكِرَاتِ أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ مَغْفِرَةً وَأَجْرًا عَظِيمًا *}. [الأحزاب:35] وقال تعالى: {وَلَذِكْرُ اللَّهِ أَكْبَرُ *}. [العنكبوت:45] وقال تعالى: {فَاذْكُرُونِي أَذْكُرْكُمْ *}. [البقرة:152]
2201 - (ق) عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم: (إِنَّ للهِ مَلاَئِكَةً يَطُوفُونَ فِي الطُّرُقِ، يَلْتَمِسُونَ أَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ، فَإِذَا وَجَدُوا قَوْماً يَذْكُرُونَ اللهَ تَنَادَوْا: هَلُمُّوا إِلَى حَاجَتِكُمْ. قَالَ: فَيَحُفُّونَهُمْ بِأَجْنِحَتِهِمْ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا، قَالَ: فَيَسْأَلُهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ، وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ مِنْهُمْ، مَا يَقُولُ عِبَادِي؟ قالَ: تَقُولُ: يُسَبِّحُونَكَ وَيُكَبِّرُونَكَ وَيَحْمَدُونَكَ وَيُمَجِّدُونَكَ، قالَ: فَيَقُولُ: هَلْ رَأَوْنِي؟ قَالَ: فَيَقُولُونَ لاَ، وَاللهِ مَا رَأَوْكَ! قالَ: فَيَقُولُ: وَكَيْفَ لَوْ رَأَوْنِي؟ قالَ: يَقُولُونَ: لَوْ رَأَوْكَ كَانُوا أَشَدَّ لَكَ عِبَادَةً، وَأَشَدَّ لَكَ تَمْجِيداً، وَأَكْثَرَ لَكَ تَسْبِيحاً.قالَ: يَقُولُ: فَمَا يَسْأَلُونَنِي؟ قَالَ: يَسْأَلُونَكَ الجَنَّةَ، قالَ: يَقُولُ: وَهَلْ رَأَوْهَا؟ قالَ: يَقُولُونَ: لاَ، وَاللهِ يَا رَبِّ! مَا رَأَوْهَا، قالَ: يَقُولُ: فَكَيْفَ لَوْ أَنَّهُمْ رَأَوْهَا؟ قالَ: يَقُولُونَ: لَوْ أَنَّهُمْ رَأَوْهَا كَانُوا أَشَدَّ عَلَيْهَا حِرْصاً، وَأَشَدَّ لَهَا طَلَباً، وَأَعْظَمَ فِيهَا رَغْبَةً.
قَالَ: فَمِمَّ يَتَعَوَّذُونَ؟ قالَ: يَقُولُونَ: مِنَ النَّارِ، قالَ: يَقُولُ: وَهَلْ رَأَوْهَا؟ قالَ: يَقُولُونَ: لاَ، وَاللهِ يَا رَبِّ! مَا رَأَوْهَا، قالَ: يَقُولُ: فَكَيْفَ لَوْ رَأَوْهَا؟ قالَ: يَقُولُونَ: لَوْ رَأَوْهَا كَانُوا أَشَدَّ مِنْهَا فِرَاراً، وَأَشَدَّ لَهَا مَخَافَةً، قالَ: فَيَقُولُ: فَأُشْهِدُكُمْ أَنِّي قَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَهُمْ. قَالَ: يَقُولُ مَلَكٌ مِنَ المَلاَئِكَةِ: فِيهِمْ فُلاَنٌ لَيْسَ مِنْهُمْ، إِنَّمَا جَاءَ لِحَاجَةٍ. قَالَ: هُمُ الْجُلَسَاءُ لاَ يَشْقَى بِهِمْ جَلِيسُهُمْ) .
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah, Exalted, has angels who wander in the roads seeking those who remember Him. When they find some people remembering Allah, the Almighty, they call one another and say: 'Come to what you were looking for' and they encircle them with their wings filling the space between them and the lowest heaven. Their Lord asks them, and He knows best: 'What are My slaves saying?' They reply: 'They are exalting You, glorifying You, praising You, and extolling You.' He asks: 'Have they seen Me?' They reply: 'No, by Allah they have not seen You.' He asks: 'What if they see Me?' Thereupon they reply: 'If they were to see You, they would engage more devoutly in worshiping, extolling, and glorifying You.' He says: 'What do they ask of Me?' They say: 'They ask You for Your Paradise.' Allah says: 'Have they seen it?' They say: 'No Lord, by Allah they have not seen it.' He says: 'What if they see it?' They reply: 'Were they to see it, they would be more keen, more zealous in seeking it, and would wish more for it.’ He says: 'From what are they seeking refuge?' They (the angels) say: 'They are seeking refuge from Hell.' He asks: 'Have they seen it?' They say: 'No. By Allah they have not seen it.' He says: 'What if they see it?' They say: 'If they were to see it, they would be more fearful of it and flee faster from it.' He says: 'Bear witness that I have forgiven them.' One of the angels says: 'There is amongst them so-and-so who is not one of them. He only came for another purpose.' He says: 'They are the people by virtue of whom their companion will in no way be unfortunate.'" Another narration reads: Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah has angels, other than the keepers, who wander about seeking Dhikr sessions. Once they find it, they sit with them and surround them with their wings filling the space between them and the lowest heaven. When they [the people in the gathering] depart, the angels ascend and rise to heaven. Then Allah, the Almighty, asks them - though He knows best - 'From where have you come?' They say: 'We have come from a gathering of Your slaves on earth. They were exalting You, glorifying You, witnessing that there is no deity but You, praising You, and asking You.' He says: 'What do they ask of Me?' They say: 'They ask You Your Paradise.' He says: 'Have they seen My Paradise?' They say: 'No, Lord.' He says: 'What if they see My Paradise?' They say: 'They also ask You for protection.' He says: 'What do they ask Me protection from?' They say: 'From Your Hell, O Lord.' He says: 'Have they seen My Hellfire?' They say: 'No.' He says: 'What if they see My Hell?' They say: 'They ask for Your forgiveness.' Then He says: 'I have forgiven them, and I have bestowed upon them what they asked for,and I have granted them refuge from what they sought protection from.' They say: 'O Lord, among them is so-and-so, a frequent sinner, who was merely passing by and sat down with them.' He says: 'They are the people by virtue of whom their companion will in no way be unfortunate.’"
2202 - (ق) عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم: (يَقُولُ اللهُ تَعَالَى: أَنَا عِنْدَ ظَنِّ عَبْدِي بِي، وَأَنَا مَعَهُ إِذَا ذَكَرَنِي، فَإِنْ ذَكَرَنِي فِي نَفْسِهِ ذَكَرْتُهُ فِي نَفْسِي، وَإِنْ ذَكَرَنِي فِي مَلأٍ ذَكَرْتُهُ فِي مَلأٍ خَيْرٍ مِنْهُمْ، وَإِنْ تَقَرَّبَ إِلَيَّ شِبْراً تَقَرَّبْتُ إِلَيْهِ ذِرَاعاً، وَإِنْ تَقَرَّبَ إِلَيَّ ذِرَاعاً تَقَرَّبْتُ إِلَيْهِ بَاعاً، وَإِنْ أَتَانِي يَمْشِي أَتَيْتُهُ هَرْوَلَةً) .
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah, Glorified and Exalted, said: 'I am as My slave thinks of Me, and I am with him wherever he remembers Me.' By Allah, Allah is more pleased with the repentance of His servant than one of you would be upon finding his lost camel in a barren desert. 'Whoever draws nearer to Me by a hand span, I draw nearer to him by a cubit; and whoever draws nearer to Me by a cubit, I draw nearer to him by a fathom; and whoever comes towards Me walking, I go to him running'" [Al-Bukhāri and Muslim]; this is the wording of one of the narrations of Imām Muslim. In another narration by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim, Allah says: "…And I am with him when he remembers Me," instead of: "...Wherever he remembers Me," as in this narration, and both narrations are authentic.
2203 - (ق) وَعَنْهُ رضي الله عنه: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم قَالَ: (إِنَّ للهِ تِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ اسْماً، مِائَةً إِلاَّ وَاحِداً، مَنْ أَحْصَاهَا دَخَلَ الجَنَّةَ) .
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Verily, Allah has ninety-nine names, one-hundred minus one. Whoever memorizes them all will enter Paradise."
2204 - (م) عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ: خَرَجَ مُعَاوِيَةُ عَلَى حَلَقَةٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَقَالَ: مَا أَجْلَسَكُمْ؟ قَالُوا: جَلَسْنَا نَذْكُرُ اللهَ. قَالَ: آللهِ مَا أَجْلَسَكُمْ إِلاَّ ذَاكَ؟ قَالُوا: وَاللهِ مَا أَجْلَسَنَا إِلاَّ ذَاكَ. قَالَ: أَمَا إِنِّي لَمْ أَسْتَحْلِفْكُمْ تُهْمَةً لَكُمْ، وَمَا كَانَ أَحَدٌ بِمَنْزِلَتِي مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم أَقَلَّ عَنْهُ حَدِيثاً مِنِّي، وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم خَرَجَ عَلَى حَلَقَةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ، فَقَالَ: (مَا أَجْلَسَكُمْ) ؟ قَالُوا: جَلَسْنَا نَذْكُرُ اللهَ وَنَحْمَدُهُ عَلَى مَا هَدَانَا لِلإِسْلاَمِ، وَمَنَّ بهِ عَلَيْنَا. قَالَ: (آللهِ مَا أَجْلَسَكُمْ إِلاَّ ذَاكَ) ؟ قَالُوا: وَاللهِ مَا أَجْلَسَنَا إِلاَّ ذَاكَ. قَالَ: (أَمَا إِنِّي لَمْ أَسْتَحْلِفْكُمْ تُهْمَةً لَكُمْ، وَلَكِنَّهُ أَتَانِي جِبْرِيلُ فَأَخْبَرَنِي: أَنَّ اللهَ عزّ وجل يُبَاهِي بِكُمُ الْمَلاَئِكَةَ) .
Abu Sa‘īd al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: Mu‘āwiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) came upon a group of people sitting in a circle in the mosque, and he asked them: "What made you sit together?" They replied: "We are sitting together to remember Allah." He said: "I adjure you by Allah to tell me whether nothing else has made you sit together." They replied: "By Allah! We are sitting only for this purpose." Then, he said: "I did not adjure you because I suspected you. I am the least one to narrate from the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) among all his close Companions. However, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) came upon a group of his Companions sitting in a circle and said: 'What made you sit together?' They replied: 'We are sitting together to remember Allah and praise Him for guiding us to Islam and bestowing favors on us.' Then, he said: 'I adjure you by Allah to tell me whether nothing else has made you sit together.' They said: 'By Allah! We are sitting only for this purpose.' He said: 'I did not adjure you because I suspected you, but Jibrīl (Gabriel) came and told me that Allah is taking pride in you before the angels.'"
2205 - (م) عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ: أَنَّهُمَا شَهِدَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم أَنَّهُ قَالَ: (لاَ يَقْعُدُ قَوْمٌ يَذْكُرُونَ اللهَ عزّ وجل ؛ إِلاَّ حَفَّتْهُمُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ، وَغَشِيَتْهُمُ الرَّحْمَةُ، وَنَزَلَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّكِينَةُ، وَذَكَرَهُمُ اللهُ فِيمَنْ عِنْدَهُ) .
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Anyone who relieves a hardship for a believer in this world, Allah will relieve one of his hardships on the Day of Resurrection. Anyone who makes things easy for a hard-pressed person, Allah will make things easy for him in this world and in the Hereafter. Anyone who covers up the faults and sins of a Muslim, Allah will cover up his faults and sins in this world and in the Hereafter. Allah supports His slave as long as the slave supports his brother. Anyone who travels a path in search of knowledge, Allah will make an easy path for him to Paradise. There are no people who gather in one of the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah, learning it and teaching it, except tranquility descends upon them, mercy covers them, the angels flock and hover around them, and Allah mentions them in the presence of those near Him (in the heavens). And anyone who lags behind in doing good deeds, his noble lineage will not advance him any faster."
2206 - (م) عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم يَذْكُرُ اللهَ عَلَى كُلِّ أَحْيَانِهِ.
‘Ā'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) used to remember Allah at all times.
2207 - (م) عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ الأُسَيِّدِيِّ ـ وَكَانَ مِنْ كُتَّابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم ـ قَالَ: لَقِيَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ: كَيْفَ أَنْتَ يَا حَنْظَلَةُ؟! قالَ: قُلْتُ: نَافَقَ حَنْظَلَةُ. قَالَ: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ! مَا تَقُولُ؟ قالَ: قُلْتُ: نَكُونُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم، يُذَكِّرُنَا بِالنَّارِ وَالْجَنَّةِ، حَتَّى كَأَنَّا رَأْيَ عَيْنٍ، فَإِذَا خَرَجْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم، عَافَسْنَا
[1]
الأَزْوَاجَ وَالأَوْلاَدَ وَالضَّيْعَاتِ
[2]
، فَنَسِينَا كَثِيراً. قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: فَوَاللهِ! إِنَّا لَنَلْقَى مِثْلَ هَذَا.
فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ، حَتَّى دَخَلْنَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم، قُلْتُ: نَافَقَ حَنْظَلَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ! فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم: (وَمَا ذَاكَ) ؟ قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ! نَكُونُ عِنْدَكَ، تُذَكِّرُنَا بِالنَّارِ وَالْجَنَّةِ، حَتَّى كَأَنَّا رَأَيَ عَيْنٍ، فَإِذَا خَرَجْنَا مِنْ عِنْدَكَ، عَافَسْنَا الأَزْوَاجَ وَالأَوْلاَدَ وَالضَّيْعَاتِ، نَسِينَا كَثِيراً. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم: (وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ! إِنْ لَوْ تَدُومُونَ عَلَى مَا تَكُونُونَ عِنْدِي، وَفِي الذِّكْرِ، لَصَافَحَتْكُمُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ عَلَى فُرُشِكُمْ وِفي طُرُقِكُمْ، وَلكِنْ، يَا حَنْظَلَةُ! سَاعَةً وَسَاعَةً) ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ.
Abu Rib‘i Hanzhalah ibn Ar-Rabī‘ al-Usaydi, one of the scribes of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) reported: I met Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and he said: 'How are you?' I said: 'Hanzhalah has turned into a hypocrite.' He said: 'Glory be to Allah, what are you saying?' I said: 'When we are in the company of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), he reminds us of Paradise and Hellfire as if we are seeing them with our very eyes, and when we depart from his company, we attend to our wives, children, and business, and we forget much of that.' Abu Bakr said: 'By Allah, we do experience the same.' So I and Abu Bakr went to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, Hanzhalah has turned into a hypocrite.' Thereupon the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'And how is that?' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, when we are in your company, you remind us of Hellfire and Paradise as if we are seeing them with our own eyes, then when we depart from you we attend to our wives, children, and business, and we forget much of that.' Thereupon the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'By Him in Whose hand is my soul, if your state of mind remains the same as it is in my presence and you are always busy in remembrance (of Allah), the angels will shake hands with you in your beds and in your paths but, Hanzhalah, time (should be devoted to prayer and meditation) and time (should be devoted to worldly affairs).' He said this thrice."
2208 - عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بُسْرٍ رضي الله عنه: أَنَّ رَجُلاً قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ! إِنَّ شَرَائِعَ الْإِسْلاَمِ قَدْ كَثُرَتْ عَلَيَّ، فَأَخْبِرْنِي بِشَيْءٍ أَتَشَبَّثُ بِهِ، قَالَ: (لاَ يَزَالُ لِسَانُكَ رَطْباً مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللهِ عزّ وجل) .
‘Abdullāh ibn Busr (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: A man came to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, indeed, the laws of Islam are too many for us, so give us something comprehensive that we can hold on to." He said: "Keep your tongue moist with the frequent remembrance of Allah, Exalted and Glorified."
2212 - عَنْ أَنَسٍ: أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ حَدَّثَهُ: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم قَالَ لَهُ: (يَا مُعَاذُ بْنَ جَبَلٍ) ، قَالَ: لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَسَعْدَيْكَ، قَالَ: (لاَ يَشْهَدُ عَبْدٌ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ، ثُمَّ يَمُوتُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ؛ إِلاَّ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ) قالَ: قُلْتُ: أَفَلاَ أُحَدِّثُ النَّاسَ؟ قَالَ: (لاَ، إِنِّي أَخْشَى أَنْ يَتَّكِلُوا عَلَيْهِ) .
Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was riding a mount with Mu‘ādh behind him, when he said: "O Mu‘ādh!" Mu‘ādh replied: "Here I am at your service, O Messenger of Allah." He again said: "O Mu‘ādh!" Mu‘ādh replied: "Here I am at your service, O Messenger of Allah." He said for the third time: "O Mu‘ādh!" Mu‘ādh replied: "Here I am at your service, O Messenger of Allah." Thereupon, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no one who bears witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger, sincerely from his heart, but Allah will forbid him to the Fire." Mu‘ādh said: "O Messenger of Allah, should I not inform the people of that so that they may rejoice?" He replied: "They would then rely on this alone (and stop doing good deeds altogether)." Mu‘ādh narrated this Hadīth at the time of his death, to avoid the sin (of concealing knowledge).
