ZIKR 2
“When any group of men remember Allah, angels surround them and mercy covers them, tranquillity descends upon them, and Allah mentions them to those who are with Him.” (Sahih Aljami’,#5608).
“The best dhikr is La ilaha illAllah.”(tirmidhi)
“The similitude of one who remembers his Rubb and one who does not remember Him, is like that of the living and the dead.’‘ [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Abu Huraira or Abu Saeed Khudri (ra)
narrates that the Messenger of Allah (sallalahu waalaihi wasallam) said, “There
are many angels of Allah (swt), other than the ones who record deeds, who
wander around on earth. When they find some people performing remembrance of Allah
(swt), they call other angels, saying, ‘Come to what you are looking
for.’ So they come and cover those people up to the lowest heaven. Then Allah
(swt) says, ‘What were My servants doing when you left them?’ The angels say,
‘O Lord, we left them praising You, magnifying You and remembering You.’ Allah (swt)
says, ‘Have they seen Me?’ They reply, ‘No.’” The Messenger of Allah (sallalahu
waalaihi wasallam) said, “Allah (swt) says, ‘What would have been their
condition if they had seen Me?’ They say, ‘If they had seen You, they
would have praised You, magnified You and remembered You far more.’ Allah (swt)
says, ‘What are they asking for?’ They reply, ‘They are asking You for
Paradise.’ He says, ‘Have they seen it?’ They reply, ‘No.’ He says, ‘What
would have been their state if they had seen it?’ They reply, ‘If they had
seen it, they would have asked for it more intensely and desired it more
earnestly.’ Allah says, ‘What are they seeking My protection from?’ The
angels say, ‘They are seeking Your protection from the Fire.’ Allah (swt)
says, ‘Have they seen it?’ They reply, ‘No.’ Allah (swt) says, ‘What would have
been their condition if they had seen it?’ They reply, ‘If they had seen it,
they would have fled from it, feared it and sought Your refuge from it even
more intensely.’ Allah says, ‘Then bear witness that I have forgiven
them.’ They say, ‘There is so and so a great sinner among them; he came
only for his personal interest and not to join in remembrance.’ Allah (swt)
says, ‘These are such people that even their companion is not left destitute
and unfortunate.’” Tirmidhi,
al-Jami-us-sahih (5:579#3600)
Ibn `Umar reported that the Prophet said: “When you pass by the gardens of Paradise, avail yourselves of them.” The Companions asked: “What are the gardens of Paradise, O Messenger of Allah?” He replied: “The circles of dhikr. There are roaming angels of Allah who go about looking for the circles of dhikr, and when they find them they surround them closely.” Tirmidhi ,Ahmad.
“When any group of men remember Allah, angels surround them and mercy covers them, tranquility descends upon them, and Allah mentions them to those who are with Him.” (Muslim)
“The doors of sadaqa are takbir (i.e. to say: Allahu Akbar, Allah is Greater); Subhan Allah (Allah is exalted high); al-hamdu lillah (all praise is for Allah); La ilaha illAllah (there is no god other than Allah); Astaghfirullah (I seek forgiveness from Allah); enjoining good; forbidding evil…. These are all the doors of sadaqah from you which is prescribed for you, and there is a reward for you even in sex with your wife.” Ahmad and Ibn Hibban,
“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.” Muslim
“No action of man is more protecting against the Fire (of Hell) than remembrance of Allah.” Ibn Abi Shaybah, al-Musannaf (6:57#29452)
“If your hearts were always in the state that they are in during dhikr, the angels would come to see you to the point that they would greet you in the middle of the road.”Muslim
