Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 16758

وَعَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ قَالَ : بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ نَسِيرُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - إِذْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " أَيْنَ السَّابِقُونَ ؟ " . قَالُوا : مَضَى نَاسٌ ، وَتَخَلَّفَ نَاسٌ ، قَالَ : " أَيْنَ السَّابِقُونَ ؟ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَهْتِرُونَ بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ . مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَرْتَعَ فِي رِيَاضِ الْجَنَّةِ فَلْيُكْثِرْ ذِكْرَ اللَّهِ " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَفِيهِ مُوسَى بْنُ عُبَيْدَةَ ، وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ ، قَالَ ابْنُ الْأَثِيرِ : يُقَالُ : هَتَرَ بِالشَّيْءِ ، وَاسْتَهْتَرَ بِهِ إِذَا وَلِعَ بِهِ ، وَلَمْ يَتَحَدَّثْ بِغَيْرِهِ .
Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Once we were travelling with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Where are those who have gone ahead (al-sabiqun)?" The people said: "Some people have gone on ahead and some are coming behind." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Where are those who have gone ahead? Those who are constantly absorbed in the remembrance of Allah. Whoever would like to enjoy the fruits of the gardens of Paradise should remember Allah abundantly."
Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains Musa bin Ubaydah, who is da'if (weak).
Ibn al-Athir said: It is said 'hatara bi al-shay' wa istahtara bihi' when a person is devoted to a thing and does nothing besides it.
