302 - حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَهِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «كَانَ يَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ أَحْيَانِهِ»

Commentary
a. 'Remembering Allāh in all circumstances' means that the Prophet ﷺ used to remember Allāh at all times regardless of whether he was in a state of ablution or not. What we infer from the Hadith is that, in order to remember Allāh with the tongue, we do not have to follow all those rules of purity that are a prerequisite for the ritual prayer. b. 'In all circumstances and times' could also mean that, unlike the prayer that is undesirable (Makruh) to perform at certain hours, there is no such restriction on engaging in the remembrance of Allāh.
