The ruling on seeking assistance through dhikr at all times and the command regarding it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Who seeks assistance through dhikr, with what subject does he become associated?
Answer:
It is a source of help for him in every good; the remembrance of Allah is a source of help for him in every good. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) has commanded remembrance and encouraged it, and warned against being among the heedless: [al-A'raf: 205]. And He the Exalted said: [al-Furqan: 44]. It is not permissible for the believer to imitate the heedless animals; rather, his tongue should be moist with the remembrance of Allah: glorification, declaring His greatness, praise, seeking forgiveness, and supplication. This is how the believer's times are filled.
Q: Is there any harm?
The Shaykh: No. If he says it while he is a blacksmith, or a carpenter, or a farmer, it assists him in every work. It assists him in good. If he is a farmer, it assists him in his farming. If he is a blacksmith, it assists him in his blacksmithing. If he is a carpenter, it assists him in his carpentry. The remembrance of Allah assists him in righteous deeds, assisting the servant in good: [Al-Baqarah: 45].

And remember your Lord within yourself in humility and in fear without being apparent in speech - in the mornings and the evenings. And do not be among the heedless.
وَاذْكُرْ رَبَّكَ فِي نَفْسِكَ تَضَرُّعًا وَخِيفَةً وَدُونَ الْجَهْرِ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ بِالْغُدُوِّ وَالْآصَالِ وَلَا تَكُنْ مِنَ الْغَافِلِينَOr do you think that most of them hear or reason? They are not except like livestock. Rather, they are [even] more astray in [their] way.
أَمْ تَحْسَبُ أَنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ يَسْمَعُونَ أَوْ يَعْقِلُونَ إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا كَالأَنْعَامِ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ سَبِيلًاQ: Is there any harm?
