حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ حُبَابٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُسْرٍ رضى الله عنه أَنَّ رَجُلاً قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ شَرَائِعَ الإِسْلاَمِ قَدْ كَثُرَتْ عَلَىَّ فَأَخْبِرْنِى بِشَىْءٍ أَتَشَبَّثُ بِهِ. قَالَ لاَ يَزَالُ لِسَانُكَ رَطْبًا مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ.

Muʻāwiyah [Ibn-Abī-Sufyān] went to the mosque and asked [the people he found there], "Why are you sitting here?" They replied, "We are sitting to remember God (1)." He said,"By God, is it only this that made you sit here together?" They replied, "By God, it is only this." He said, "Know that I do not adjure you out of suspicion. No one as close to the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, as I has narrated fewer ḥadīth (2) than I did.The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, came across a group of his companions sitting in a circle, so he asked them, "Why are you sitting [like that]?" They replied, "We are sitting to remember God (1) and praise Him for guiding us to Islām and for conferring it upon us". He asked, "By God, is it only this that made you sit together?" They replied, "By God, it is only this." He said, "Know that I do not adjure you out of suspicion, rather because Gabriel (archangel) came to me and told me that God is boasting about you before His angels." Footnotes: (1) A devotional practice that focuses on feeling God's presence in the different facets of life. It includes several kinds like practical evoking (obeying God's commandments), verbal evoking (supplications, praising, glorifying and exalting God), and evoking by the heart (meditation).

The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said, "The best remembrance [of God] (1) is to say, 'there is no god except Allāh (2)' and the best supplication is, 'Praise is to God.'" Footnotes: (1) A devotional practice that focuses on feeling God’s presence in the different facets of life. It includes several kinds like practical remembrance (obeying God’s commandments), verbal remembrance (supplications, praising, glorifying and exalting God), and remembrance by the heart (meditation). (2) Allāh is the Arabic name for the One and Only God, the same God shared by all monotheistic faiths (the name Allāh is often used by Arabic-speaking Christians and Jews). The name Allāh encompasses all the divine names and attributes of the Lord of the worlds, and hence has vast scopes of meaning. It is for this reason that Muslims consider it unique. Unlike the word 'God', Allāh in Arabic has no inflections of gender or number. Click on ḥadīth to read more
