Silsilah as-Sahihah 2927 — Advice for Remembrance and Recitation

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa‘id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to me and said: Advise me with some counsel. I said: You have asked me for the same thing that I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) before you. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “I advise you to fear Allah, for it is the root of all goodness. Also, be diligent in jihad, for it is the monasticism of Islam. And be constant in the remembrance of Allah and the recitation of the Qur’an, for it is a means of mention for you in the heavens.”
