"قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ: يَأَيُّهَا النَّاسُ! اذْكُرُوا اللهَ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ، فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَمَلٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَى اللهِ وَلا أَنْجَى لعَبْدٍ مِنْ كُلِّ سَيِّئةٍ فِى الدُّنْيَا والآخِرَةِ مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللهِ، فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ! وَلَا الْجِهَادُ؟ فَقَالَ: لَوْلا ذِكْرُ اللهِ لَمْ يَأمُرِ اللهُ بِالجهَادِ فِى سَبِيلِ الله وَلَوْ أَنَّ الْنَّاسَ اجْتَمعُوا عَلَىَ مَا أُمِرُوا بِهِ مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللهِ لَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَيْهِم فِى سَبِيِل اللهِ الْجِهَادُ، وَإِنَّ ذِكْرَ اللهِ لا يَمْنَعُهُمْ مِنَ الْجِهَادِ فِى سَبِيلِ اللهِ، بَلْ هُوَ عَوْنٌ لَهُمْ، فَقُولُوا: لا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَقُولُوا: الْحَمدُ للهِ، وَقُولُوا: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ، وَلا حَوْلَ وَلا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا باللهِ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ، فَإِنَّهُنَّ لا يَعْدِلهن شَىْءٌ عَلَيْهِنَّ فَطَرَ اللهُ مَلائِكَتَهُ وَمِنْ أَجِلِهنَّ فَتَقَ اللهُ سَمَاوَاتِهِ ودحى أَرْضَهُ وَخَلَقَ جِنَّهُ وإِنْسَهُ، وَفَرَضَ عَلَيْهِمْ فرائضه، ولا يَقْبَلُ ذِكْرَهُ إِلا مِمَّنْ طَهَّرَ قَلْبَهُ وَأَنْقَاهُ، فَأَكْرِمُوا اللهَ بِأَن لا يَرَى مِنْكُمْ مَا نَهَاكُم عَنْهُ، فَإِنَّهُ قَد اتَّخَذَ ذَلِكَ عِنْدَكُمْ".

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: O people! Remember Allah in every state, for there is no deed more beloved to Allah, nor more saving for a servant from every evil in this world and the Hereafter, than the remembrance of Allah. Someone said: O Messenger of Allah! Not even jihad? He said: Were it not for the remembrance of Allah, Allah would not have commanded jihad in the way of Allah. And if people were to unite upon what they were commanded of the remembrance of Allah, jihad in the way of Allah would not have been prescribed for them. And the remembrance of Allah does not prevent them from jihad in the way of Allah; rather it is a help to them. So say: There is no god but Allah, and say: Praise be to Allah, and say: Glory be to Allah, and there is no power and no strength except with Allah, and Allah is the Greatest. For nothing equals them. Upon them Allah created His angels, and for their sake Allah split His heavens, spread out His earth, and created His jinn and His humankind, and obligated upon them His obligations. He accepts His remembrance only from one who has purified his heart and cleansed it. So honor Allah by not letting Him see from you what He has forbidden you, for He has taken that as a matter held with you."
