ما يوجِبُ دَوامَ الذِّكرِ That Which Brings About Continuous Remembrance [of Allah]

49ـ في حديثِ المعراجِ: يا أحمَدُ ... دُمْ على ذِكرِي ، فقالَ: يا ربِّ ، وكيفَ أدُومُ على ذِكرِكَ ؟ فقالَ: بالخَلوَةِ عنِ الناسِ ، وبُغضِكَ الحُلوَ والحامِضَ ، وفَراغِ بَطنِكَ وبَيتِكَ مِنَ الدنيا.

49– In the tradition recounting the Prophet (SAWA)’s Ascension to the Heavens (al-mi`araj): ‘O Ahmad… be continuous in My remembrance.’ The Prophet (SAWA) asked, ‘O My Lord, how can I be continuous in Your remembrance?’ He replied, ‘Through seclusion from people, despising the sweet and the sour [of the world], and clearing your stomach and your house of the world.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 77, p. 22, no. 6]
