Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37802 — Reports on the virtue of remembering

It is narrated from Muhammad bin Ibrahim that he said: Sayyiduna Ubadah bin al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) says: That I should be among people who remember Allah from when they pray the morning prayer until sunrise is dearer to me than being on the backs of horses, fighting in jihad in the path of Allah until sunrise. And that I should be among people who remember Allah from when they pray Asr until sunset is more beloved to me than riding on the backs of horses and fighting in jihad in the path of Allah until sunset.
