عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ سَلْمَانَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ صَنْعَاءَ قَالَ كُنَّا بِمَكَّةَ فَجَلَسْنَا إِلَى عَطَاءِ الْخُرَاسَانِيِّ إِلَى جَنْبِ جِدَارِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَلَمْ نَسْأَلْهُ وَلَمْ يُحَدِّثْنَا قَالَ ثُمَّ جَلَسْنَا إِلَى ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا مِثْلُ مَجْلِسِكُمْ هَذَا فَلَمْ نَسْأَلْهُ وَلَمْ يُحَدِّثْنَا قَالَ فَقَالَ مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَتَكَلَّمُونَ وَلَا تَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ قُولُوا اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ بِوَاحِدَةٍ عَشْرًا وَبِعَشْرَةٍ مِائَةً مَنْ زَادَ زَادَ اللَّهُ وَمَنْ سَكَتَ غَفَرَ لَهُ الْحَدِيثَ
It is narrated from a man of Sana'a, Ayub bin Salman, who says: We were sitting by the wall of the mosque with Ata Khurasani in Makkah Mukarramah; neither did we ask him anything nor did he say anything to us. Then we sat with Sayyiduna Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, in the same way as you are sitting with us; neither did we ask him anything nor did he say anything to us. Eventually, he said: What is the matter with you people, you neither speak nor remember Allah Almighty? Do this dhikr: ALLAHU AKBAR, ALHAMDULILLAH, SUBHANALLAH WA BIHAMDIHI. Allah Almighty will write ten (good deeds) for one word, and for ten, He will write a hundred. Whoever remembers (Allah) more, Allah Almighty will give him more reward, and whoever remains silent, Allah Almighty will forgive him, ... .
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The last sentence requires clarification: "Whoever remained silent, Allah will forgive him." At this point, the meaning and purport of these words are not clear. It is possible that Sayyiduna Ibn Umar radi Allahu anhu is mentioning the virtue of silence. The words of the marfu‘ narration in Jami‘ al-Tirmidhi are as follows: "Wa man istaghfara ghafara Allahu lahu" (Whoever sought forgiveness, Allah will forgive him).
