3580. Umārah bin Za'karah said: "I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ saying: 'Indeed, Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime, says: "Indeed My worshipper who is entirely My slave is the one who remembers Me when he is about to meet his enemy." That is: "At the time of fighting." (Da'if)
[He said:] This Ḥadīth is Gharīb, we do not know of it except through this route, and its chain is
not strong.
[And we do not know of 'Umārah bin Za'karah hearing anything from the Prophet ﷺ except for this one Hadīth. And the meaning of his saying: "When he is about to meet his enemy," only means at the time of fighting. That is: That he remembers Allāh in that time.

Commentary
In the Qur'an, in Sūrat AlAnfāl Verse 45 it has been commanded to supplicate for success and triumph. "When you meet a force be firm and call Allāh in remembrance much and often." He who remembers Allāh ﷺ during combat carries out the orders and proves himself as His true servant.
