Malik reported: It reached me that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to say, "The one who remembers Allah among the heedless is like a fighter behind those who flee. The one who remembers Allah among the heedless is like a fresh green branch amidst dry trees." In another narration: "Like a green tree in the midst of other trees. The one who remembers Allah among the heedless is like a lamp in a dark house. The one who remembers Allah among the heedless, Allah shows him his place in Paradise while he is still alive. The one who remembers Allah among the heedless is forgiven by the number of every eloquent and non-eloquent being—the eloquent being the children of Adam, and the non-eloquent being the animals."
