Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 31444 — Book of the Remembrance of Allah

Muhammad bin Ibrahim said that Sayyiduna Ubadah bin al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "That I should sit among people who remember Allah from the morning prayer until the sun rises is dearer to me than that I should sit on the back of a horse, striving in the path of Allah until the sun rises. And that I should be among such people who remember Allah from the Asr prayer until the sun sets is dearer to me than that I should sit on the back of a horse, striving in the path of Allah until the sun sets."
