➊ The aforementioned narration has been declared weak in its chain of transmission by our esteemed researcher, whereas a narration of similar meaning is reported from Jabir radi Allahu anhu, which Shaykh al-Albani rahimahullah has graded as hasan li-ghayrihi in Sahih al-Targhib wa’l-Tarhib. See: (Sahih al-Targhib wa’l-Tarhib by al-Albani: 2/205, no. 1497). Furthermore, in the mentioned hadith as well, the virtue of the remembrance of Allah (dhikr) is stated, that the remembrance of Allah is the greatest means of salvation from the punishment of Allah. Just as the remembrance of Allah saves from the punishment of the Hereafter, in the same way, it also protects from worldly calamities and hardships.
➋ At the time of confronting the disbelievers, there is a command to remain steadfast through the remembrance of Allah, that you should remember Allah much. And as mentioned above, whoever remembers Allah, Allah remains with him as long as he remembers Him.
➌ When a servant remembers Allah during jihad, he attains His company and companionship, and in the battlefield, the believing servant remains successful and triumphant.
