3793. It was narrated from 'Abdullāh bin Busr that a Bedouin said to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ: "The laws of Islam are burdensome for me. Tell me of something that I will be able to adhere to. He said: 'Always keep your tongue moist with the remembrance of Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime.'" (Hasan)
3793 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ قَيْسٍ الْكِنْدِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُسْرٍ، أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِنَّ شَرَائِعَ الْإِسْلَامِ قَدْ كَثُرَتْ عَلَيَّ، فَأَنْبِئْنِي مِنْهَا بِشَيْءٍ أَتَشَبَّثُ بِهِ قَالَ: «لَا يَزَالُ لِسَانُكَ رَطْبًا مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ»

a. Teh Shari'ah means all the commands of Allāh, including obligations, supererogatory and desirable acts. b. The practice of remembering Allāh regularly compensates for the negligence in supererogatory forms of worship. c. Remembering Allāh frequently also means observing the supplications that are recited on various occasions. (For instance supplications that are said in the morning and evening, at the time of eating, drinking, etc.) It also means repeating the common supplication as much as possible, such as سبحان الله، الحمد لله، الله أكبر، لا إله إلا الله، لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله.
