Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
He (may Allah have mercy on him) said: “Chapter on the Remembrance of Allah in the Morning and Evening. Allah the Exalted said:
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. واذكر ربك في نفسك تضرعًا وخِيفة ودون الجهر من القول بالغدو والآصال ولا تكن من الغافلين
[Al-A'raf 7:205]
And He the Exalted said:
and exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting وسبح بحمد ربك قبل طلوع الشمس وقبل غروبها
[Taha 20:130]
And He the Exalted said:
and exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord in the evening and the morning. وسبح بحمد ربك بالعشي والإبكار
[Ghafir 40:55]
And He the Exalted said:
in mosques which Allah has ordered to be raised and that His name be mentioned therein; exalting Him within them in the morning and the evenings (37) [Are] men whom neither commerce nor sale distracts from the remembrance of Allah في بيوت أذن الله أن ترفع ويذكر فيها اسمه يسبح له فيها بالغدو والآصال * رجال لا تلهيهم تجارة ولا بيع عن ذكر الله
[An-Nur 24:36-37]
The verse. And He the Exalted said:
Indeed, We subjected the mountains [to praise] with him, exalting [Allah] in the [late] afternoon and [after] sunrise. إنا سخرنا الجبال معه يسبحن بالعشي والإشراق
[Sad 38:18]
”
.

The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The author (may Allah have mercy on him) said: “Chapter on the Remembrance of Allah in the Morning and Evening”, meaning: its virtue. The morning and evening mean the beginning of the day and the end of the night. The morning begins with the appearance of the dawn and ends with the sun rising in the forenoon. The evening begins with the 'Asr prayer and ends with the 'Isha' prayer or close to it. So, the dhikr that is restricted to the morning and evening, this is its time. And the dhikr that is restricted to the night is done at night, such as the Verse of the Throne; whoever recites it in a night, it must be in that night itself. Then the author (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned several verses regarding this, among which is the saying of Allah the Exalted:
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. واذكر ربك في نفسك تضرعًا وخِيفة ودون الجهر من القول بالغدو والآصال * ولا تكن من الغافلين
[Al-A'raf 7:205]
And remember your Lord within yourself اذكر ربك في نفسك
[Al-A'raf 7:205]
meaning: between you and yourself.
With humility and fear تضرعًا وخِيفة
meaning: humility to Allah the Mighty and Majestic, and dependence on Him, and displaying poverty in His hands.
And fear وخيفة
meaning: fear of Him, or fear that it will not be accepted, due to the saying of Allah the Exalted:
And they who give what they give while their hearts are fearful because they will be returning to their Lord - والذين يؤتون ما أتوا وقلوبهم وجلة أنهم إلى ربهم راجعون
[Al-Mu'minun 23:60]
And remember your Lord within yourself in humility and in fear without being apparent in speech واذكر ربك في نفسك تضرعًا وخيفة ودون الجهر من القول
[Al-A'raf 7:205]
meaning: whispering.
And do not be among the heedless. ولا تكن من الغافلين
[Al-A'raf 7:205]
Then he also mentioned the saying of Allah the Exalted:
(41) O you who have believed, remember Allah with much remembrance (42) And exalt Him morning and afternoon. يا أيها الذين آمنوا اذكروا الله ذكرًا كثيرًا * وسبحوه بكرة وأصيلًا
[Al-Ahzab 33:41-42]
and His saying:
Indeed, We subjected the mountains [to praise] with him, exalting [Allah] in the [late] afternoon and [after] sunrise. إنا سخرنا الجبال معه يسبحن بالعشي والإشراق
[Sad 38:18]
And the verses in this regard are many, and it will come, if Allah wills, in the hadiths, the detail of that.

The questioner : ... a person was traveling and wanted to remind the people.

The Shaykh : He reminds them, he reminds them, he travels.

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : The traveler and the resident are the same, but if he fears causing disturbance to others.

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : I say, if he fears causing disturbance, he should not cause disturbance.

The questioner : May you be well, O Shaykh.
