tasbeehZikrullah – Remembrance of Allah

Keep your tongue moist with the remembrance of Allah

 

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بُسْرٍ، قَالَ: أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

أَعْرَابِيَّانِ، فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا: مَنْ خَيْرُ الرِّجَالِ يَا مُحَمَّدُ؟ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ

صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ” مَنْ طَالَ عُمْرُهُ، وَحَسُنَ عَمَلُهُ “، وَقَالَ

الْآخَرُ: إِنَّ شَرَائِعَ الْإِسْلَامِ قَدْ كَثُرَتْ عَلَيْنَا، فَبَابٌ نَتَمَسَّكُ بِهِ

جَامِعٌ؟ قَالَ: ” لَا يَزَالُ لِسَانُكَ رَطْبًا مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللهِ “

Hazrat Abdullah ibn Busr (may Allah have mercy on him) reported: Two men came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and one of them said, “Who is the best man, O Muhammad?” He said, “One who has a long life filled with good deeds.” The other man said, “Indeed, the laws of Islam are too many for us, so give us something comprehensive we can hold onto.” He (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Keep your tongue wet with the remembrance of Allah the Exalted.”
