Question:
A letter signed by one of the female listeners from Jeddah, stating: The sender is Umm Fawziyyah. Umm Fawziyyah asks your Eminence, saying: I ask you about this hadith, is it authentic or weak?
From Ma'qil ibn Yasar, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: (Whoever says three times in the morning: I seek refuge in Allah, the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing, from Satan the accursed, and then recites three verses from the end of Surat al-Hashr, Allah assigns seventy thousand angels to him who pray for him until evening, and if he dies on that day, he dies as a martyr. And whoever says it in the evening, he is at that same rank.) What is the authenticity of this hadith? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
It is not authentic; rather, it is a weak hadith that is not authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). However, it is prescribed for the believer... at all times to engage in dhikr, seeking forgiveness, and reciting the Qur'an. This is prescribed at all times. It is recommended for the believer to occupy himself with the remembrance of Allah, with tasbih, tahlil, and seeking forgiveness, at all his times, as Allah the Exalted said in His great Book:[Al-Ahzab 33:41] and glorify Him in the morning and in the evening [Al-Ahzab: 41-42].
And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 2137a, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan an-Nasa'i 924Hasan (Darussalam), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Ibn Hibban 7:253.
So dhikr is required at all times, night and day, in travel and residence, in the house, on the road, in the mosque, and elsewhere. Among this is what we mentioned: Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah, La ilaha illa Allah, Allahu Akbar, La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah, Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi, Subhan Allah al-Azim, La ilaha illa Allah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu, yuhyi wa yumitu wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadir, Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi, Subhan Allah al-Azim. All of this is good. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.

O you who have believed, remember Allah with much remembrance
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ ذِكْرًا كَثِيرًا And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The dearest phrases to Allah are four: Subhan Allah (Hallowed be Allah), Al-Hamdulillah (Praise be to Allah), La ilaha illa-Allah (There is no deity but Allah), Allahu Akbar (Allah is Greater).
أحب الكلام إلى الله أربع: سبحان الله، والحمد لله، ولا إله إلا الله، والله أكبرSubhanAllah, wal-hamdulilah, wa la illaha ill-Allah, wa Allahu Akbar, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa Billahil-aliy al-azim (Glory be to Allah, praise be to Allah, there is none worthy of worship except Allah, Allah is Most Great, and there is no power and no strength except with Allah the Exalted and Magnificent )
الباقيات الصالحات سبحان الله، والحمد لله، ولا إله إلا الله، والله أكبر، ولا حول ولا قوة إلا باللهThe individuals have preceded. It was said: O Messenger of Allah! Who are the individuals? He said: Those who remember Allah much, and those who remember Allah much (females)
سبق المفردون، قيل: يا رسول الله! ما المفردون؟ قال: الذاكرون الله كثيرًا والذاكراتSo dhikr is required at all times, night and day, in travel and residence, in the house, on the road, in the mosque, and elsewhere. Among this is what we mentioned: Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah, La ilaha illa Allah, Allahu Akbar, La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah, Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi, Subhan Allah al-Azim, La ilaha illa Allah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu, yuhyi wa yumitu wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadir, Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi, Subhan Allah al-Azim.
