ALLAH IS PROUD OF THOSE MAKING ZIKR
1482
“Mu'awiah came into the Mosque and saw a group sitting there. He asked them, ‘Why are you sitting here?’ They answered, ‘We are gathered for the remembrance of Allah.’ He inquired, ‘Do you call Allah to witness that this is your only purpose?’ They answered, ‘That is so.’ He told them, ‘I did not put you on oath out of suspicion. When it comes to reporting something via him no one with the same relationship to the Messenger, praise and peace be upon him, as I, had less narrations.’
On one occasion, the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, came upon a company of his Companions and inquired, ‘What has brought you together?’ They answered, ‘We are seated together remembering Allah and praising Him for having guided us to Islam and for having conferred this favor upon us.’ He inquired, ‘Do you call Allah to witness that this is your only purpose?’ They answered, ‘Allah is our witness that is our only purpose.’ He said, ‘I did not put you on oath out of doubt, but Gabriel came to me and told me that Allah is proud of you amongst the angels.’"
Muslim with a chain up to Abu Sa'id Khudri who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
REMEMBRANCE OF ALLAH IN THE MORNING AND EVENING

with humility and fear,
and not with a loud voice,
morning and evening,
and do not be inattentive.” 7:205 Koran

before sunrise and before sunset.
And in the watches of the night
and at the edges of the day, exalt Him,
so that you will be pleasing.” 20:130 Koran

in the evening and at dawn.” 40:55 Koran

and His Name to be remembered therein.
In the morning and evening are men
who exalt Him there,
whom neither trade nor sale can divert
from the remembrance of Allah......” 24:36-37 Koran
“We subjected the mountains to exalt (Me) with him
in the evening and at sunrise.” 38:19 Koran
