قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هِشَامٍ الرِّفَاعِيُّ، ثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، ثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
يُفَضَّلُ الذِّكْرُ الْخَفِيُّ الَّذِي لَا تَسْمَعُهُ الْحَفَظَةُ بِسَبْعِينَ ضِعْفًا، وَيَقُولُ: « إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ وَجَمَعَ اللهُ تَعَالَى الْخَلَائِقَ لِحِسَابِهِمْ، وَجَاءَتِ الْحَفَظَةُ بِمَا حَفِظُوا أَوْ كَتَبُوا، قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى لَهُمْ: انْظُرُوا هَلْ بَقِيَ لَهُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: رَبَّنَا مَا تَرَكْنَا شَيْئًا مِمَّا عَلِمْنَاهُ وَحَفِظْنَاهُ إِلَّا وَقَدْ أَحْصَيْنَاهُ وَكَتَبْنَاهُ. فَيَقُولُ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى: إِنَّ لَكَ عِنْدِي خَبِيئًا لَا تَعْلَمُهُ، وَأَنَا أَجْزِيكَ بِهِ، وَهُوَ الذِّكْرُ الْخَفِيُّ

✧ Hidden remembrance, which the recording angels do not hear, is favored by seventy times. And he says: 'When the Day of Resurrection comes and Allah, the Exalted, gathers the creatures for their reckoning, and the recording angels come with what they recorded and wrote, Allah, the Exalted, says to them: Look, is anything left for him? They say: Our Lord, we have not left anything of what we knew and recorded except that we have counted and written it. Then Allah, Blessed and Exalted, says: You have with Me something hidden that you do not know, and I will reward you for it. That is hidden remembrance.'

ورواه محمد بن إسحاق قال ذكر الزهري عن عروة عن عائشة ويقال إن محمد بن إسحاق أخذه من معاوية بن يحيى الصدفي لأنه كان زميله إلى الري في صحابة المهدي ومعاوية بن يحيى ضعيف
machine translationMuḥammad b. Isḥāq also narrated it, saying: "al-Zuhrī mentioned from ʿUrwah from ʿĀʾishah." It is said that Muḥammad b. Isḥāq took it from Muʿāwiyah b. Yaḥyā al-Ṣadafī, because he was his companion on the journey to al-Rayy in the entourage of al-Mahdī, and Muʿāwiyah b. Yaḥyā is weak (ḍaʿīf).
