Malik said he heard Allah's Messenger ﷺ used to say, “The one who makes mention of Allah among those who are negligent is like one who goes on fighting after others have fled; the one who makes mention of Allah among those who are negligent is like a green branch upon a withered tree; (A version has, “Like a green tree amidst the trees”); the one who makes mention of Allah among those who are negligent is like a lamp in a dark house; the one who makes mention of Allah among those who are negligent will be shown by Allah during his lifetime his resting-place in paradise; and the one who makes mention of Allah among those who are negligent will be forgiven as many sins as the number of those who have the faculty of speech (fasih) and those who are destitute of it (a'jam)” Fasih refers to human beings and a'jam to animals. Razin transmitted it.
