Statements of the Companions
It has already been related from Umar, Mu'adh, Ibn Mas'ud, Ibn Umar, Ibn Rawahah, and Umayr ibn Habib that increase is the remembrance of Allah Most High, while decrease is its opposite.
أَقْوَالُ الصَّحَابَةِ وَقَدْ مَضَى عَنْ عُمَرَ، وَمُعَاذٍ، وَابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، وَابْنِ عُمَرَ، وَابْنِ رَوَاحَةَ، وَعُمَيْرِ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ أَنَّ الزِّيَادَةَ هُوَ ذِكْرُ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى، وَالنُّقْصَانَ ضِدُّهُ
