What is the authenticity of the hadith: "Whoever remembers Allah in his [unclear] enters Paradise"?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The honorable Shaykh, this person asks: What is the authenticity of the hadith:
Whoever remembers Allah in his [unclear] enters Paradise من ذكر الله في عجته دخل الجنة
?

The Shaykh : In?

The Shaykh : In his [unclear]

The Shaykh : In what?

The questioner : In his [unclear].

The Shaykh : What?

The questioner : Remembering Allah with a loud voice

The Shaykh : Yes, this is not authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), because the remembrance of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) may be better done loudly, and it may be better done quietly. After the obligatory prayers, it is better to raise the voice in dhikr, due to the statement of Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father):
Dhikr (mentioning the name of Allah) in a loud voice after obligatory prayers was (a common practice) during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) كان رفع الصوت بالذكر حين ينصرف الناس من المكتوبة على عهد النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم
Sahih Muslim 583c
So here, it is better to raise your voice. Likewise, in the talbiyah, it is better to raise your voice, because Jibril came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said:
Tell your companions to raise their voices with the ihlal مر أصحابك أن يرفعوا أصواتهم بالإهلال
Al-Mustadrak lil-Hakim 17:45
meaning with the talbiyah. And Jabir ibn Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) said:
We used to shout with it, shouting كنا نصرخ بذلك صراخاً
However, a person should not overburden himself when he begins to raise his voice in dhikr. When the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) raised their voices in dhikr while traveling with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), he said:
O you, restrain yourselves أيها اربعوا على أنفسكم
meaning do not overburden them and do not make it difficult for them.
For you are not calling one who is deaf or absent, but you are calling One who is Hearing and Near. Indeed, the One you are calling is closer to one of you than the one who is holding the rein of his camel. فإنكم لا تدعون أصماً ولا غائباً إنما تدعون سميعاً قريباً إن الذين تدعون أقرب إلى أحدكم كمن عنق راحلته
Yes.
