A man said: “O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, indeed, the legislated acts of Islam have become too much for me, so inform me of a thing that I should stick to.” He ﷺ said: “Let not your tongue cease to be moist with the remembrance of Allah.”  

يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ شَرَائِعَ الإِسْلاَمِ قَدْ كَثُرَتْ عَلَىَّ فَأَخْبِرْنِي بِشَيْءٍ أَتَشَبَّثُ بِهِ قَالَ لاَ يَزَالُ لِسَانُكَ رَطْبًا مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ was approached by two bedouins, and one of them asked him, "O Muhammad, who are the best of men?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "The best of men are those who live a long life and perform good deeds." The other bedouin said, "We have been overwhelmed with numerous Islamic laws and regulations. Is there a way for us to hold onto something comprehensive?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Keep your tongue moist with the remembrance of Allah."  

أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَعْرَابِيَّانِ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا مَنْ خَيْرُ الرِّجَالِ يَا مُحَمَّدُ؟ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَنْ طَالَ عُمْرُهُ وَحَسُنَ عَمَلُهُ وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ إِنَّ شَرَائِعَ الْإِسْلَامِ قَدْ كَثُرَتْ عَلَيْنَا فَبَابٌ نَتَمَسَّكُ بِهِ جَامِعٌ؟ قَالَ لَا يَزَالُ لِسَانُكَ رَطْبًا مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللهِ  

[Machine] I heard Abdullah ibn Busr saying, "Two Bedouins came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and one of them asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, who among the people is the best?' He said, 'The one whose life is long, and his deeds are good.' The other one asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, the rules and regulations of Islam have become abundant upon me. Command me with something that I can hold on to.' He said, 'Keep your tongue moist with the remembrance of Allah.'"  

سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ بُسْرٍ يَقُولُ جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيَّانِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيُّ النَّاسِ خَيْرٌ؟ قَالَ مَنْ طَالَ عُمْرُهُ وَحَسُنَ عَمَلُهُ وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ شَرَائِعَ الْإِسْلَامِ قَدْ كَثُرَتْ عَلَيَّ فَمُرْنِي بِأَمْرٍ أَتَثَبَّتُ بِهِ فَقَالَ لَا يَزَالُلِسَانُكَ رَطْبًا مِنَ ذكر اللهِ  

"The laws of Islam are burdensome for me. Tell me of something that I will be able to adhere to. He said: 'Always keep your tongue moist with the remembrance of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3793)  

لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ شَرَائِعَ الْإِسْلَامِ قَدْ كَثُرَتْ عَلَيَّ فَأَنْبِئْنِي بِشَيْءٍ أَتَشَبَّثُ بِهِ فَقَالَ «لَا يَزَالُ لِسَانُكَ رَطْبًا مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ»  

[Machine] An Arab came to the Prophet ﷺ and one of them said, "O Messenger of Allah, tell me something that I can cling to." He said, "Keep your tongue moist with the remembrance of Allah."  

جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيَّانِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَخْبِرْنِي بِأَمْرٍ أَتَشَبَّثُ بِهِ قَالَ «لَا يَزَالُ لِسَانُكَ رَطْبًا مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ»  

[Machine] I heard Abdullah ibn Busr saying that two Bedouins came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and one of them asked, "O Messenger of Allah, who is the best of people?" He replied, "The one whose lifespan is long and his actions are good." The other one said, "O Messenger of Allah, the laws of Islam have become too many for me. Command me with something that I can hold onto." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Keep your tongue moist with the remembrance of Allah."  

سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ بُسْرٍ يَقُولُ جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيَّانِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ النَّاسِ خَيْرٌ؟ قَالَ «مَنْ طَالَ عُمْرُهُ وَحَسُنَ عَمَلُهُ» وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ شَرَائِعَ الْإِسْلَامِ قَدْ كَثُرَتْ عَلَيَّ فَأْمُرْنِي بِأَمْرٍ أَتَشَبَّثُ بِهِ فَقَالَ يَعْنِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا يَزَالُ لِسَانُكَ رَطْبًا مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ»
