4
. Sitting in the masjid from after dawn up to sunrise in order to remember [and praise] Allah, the Glorified, is quicker in making sustenance [more easily] obtainable than travelling to different parts of the land [in order to earn one’s livelihood].


4
ـ اَلجُلوُسُ فِي المَسْجِدِ مِنْ بَعْدِ طُلُوعِ الفَجْرِ إلى حينِ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ لِلاِشتِغالِ بِذِكْرِ اللّهِ سُبْحانَهُ أسْرَعُ في تَيْسيرِ الرِّزقِ مِنَ الضَّرْبِ في أقْطارِ الأرْضِ


5
. A beautiful remembrance is one of the two lives.1

6
. A beautiful remembrance is one of the two lifetimes.


6
ـ اَلذِّكْرُ الجَميلُ أحَدُ العُمْرَينِ


7
. Remembering [Allah] is not from rituals of the tongue nor is it from the passing of thoughts rather it is first from the remembered and then from the rememberer.


7
ـ اَلذِّكرُ لَيْسَ مِنْ مَراسِمِ اللِّسانِ، ولا مِنْ مَناسِمِ الفِكْرِ، ولكِنَّهُ أوَّلٌ مِنَ المَذكُورِ، وَثان مِنَ الذّاكِرِ

15
. Verily there are those who hold on to the remembrance of Allah and have taken it in lieu of this world and thus neither trade nor business has preoccupied them from [His] remembrance. They spend the days of their lives with it and shout it in the ears of the negligent [in order to remind them].

ـ إنَّ لِلذِّكْرِ أهْلاً أخَذُوهُ مِنَ الدُّنيا بَدَلاً، فَلَمْ تَشْغَلْهُمْ تِجارَةٌ ولا بَيْعٌ عَنْ ذِكْر، يَقْطَعُونَ بِهِ أيّامَ الحَياةِ،وَ يَهْتِفُونَ بِهِ في آذانِ الغافِلينَ
