What It Means: Reading in Context
This is the first of two expressions of remembrance in the narration. The second glorifies Allah as the Great. The complete narration describes the two expressions as easy to say, weighty in the scales and beloved to the Most Merciful. This entry quotes one expression only and preserves the translation’s explanation in parentheses. This entry comes from Sahih Muslim 2694. The displayed text is an excerpt, not the complete narration. Follow the source link to read the narrator, full wording and in-book reference together. A hadith number identifies the source used here; numbering systems can differ between editions. Being able to inspect a source is important when a short statement is shared outside its original setting. The accompanying reflection is an editorial prompt for everyday conduct. It is not part of the hadith and does not replace explanation from qualified scholarship. Avoid extending a short reminder into a religious ruling that the entry itself does not establish.
