It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Shall I not tell you the most beloved words to Allah, the Exalted?" Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I submitted, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), why not! Please tell me the most beloved words to Allah, the Exalted." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The most beloved words to Allah, the Exalted, are: Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi."

It is narrated from Hazrat Ka'b that he says: The best deed among deeds is "Subhat al-Hadith," and the worst deed among deeds is "Tajdeef." The narrator says: I asked, "O Abu Abdur Rahman! What is Subhat al-Hadith?" He (may Allah have mercy on him) replied: A person does tasbeeh (remembers Allah) while others are engaged in conversation. The narrator says: I asked, "What is Tajdeef?" He (may Allah have mercy on him) replied: People are with goodness, but when questioned, they respond with evil.

It is narrated from Hazrat Saeed bin Musayyib that he says: We were with Hazrat Saad bin Malik, then he remained silent for a moment and then said: Indeed, in this silence of mine, I have attained that which the Nile and the Euphrates irrigate.

It is narrated from Hazrat Mu'adh bin Jabal that he said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "No deed of the son of Adam saves him from the Fire more than the remembrance of Allah." The people said: "O Messenger of Allah, not even striving in the way of Allah (jihad fi sabilillah)?" He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Not even striving in the way of Allah—unless you strike with your sword until it breaks, then you strike (with another sword) until it too breaks." He said this three times.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr that he said: Remembering God morning and evening is better than breaking swords in the way of God and giving heaps of wealth.

It is narrated from Hazrat Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: If I remember Allah from morning until sunrise, this is more beloved to me than riding fine horses and attacking in the way of Allah from morning until sunrise.
