It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were passing with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (during a journey) by the place called Jumdan, when suddenly signs of joy appeared on the radiant face of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "O Mu'adh, where are those who go ahead?" I said: (O Messenger of Allah,) some people have gone ahead and some have stayed behind. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Those who go ahead are the people who are constantly absorbed and immersed in the remembrance of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic. So whoever would like to roam freely in the meadows of Paradise and enjoy its blessings, let him remember Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, abundantly."
Imam Ishaq bin Rahwayh narrated this hadith in his Musnad; Musa bin Ubaydah al-Rabadhi in its chain is a weak narrator; however, a supporting report for it concerning the virtue of those who remember Allah abundantly exists in Sahih Muslim, with the mention of "al-Mufarridun".
