وَعَن عبد الله بن يسر: أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ شَرَائِعَ الْإِسْلَامِ قَدْ كَثُرَتْ عَلَيَّ فَأَخْبِرْنِي بِشَيْءٍ أَتَشَبَّثُ بِهِ قَالَ: " لَا يَزَالُ لِسَانُكَ رَطْبًا بِذكر اللَّهِ) رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَابْنُ مَاجَهْ وَقَالَ التِّرْمِذِيُّ: هَذَا حَدِيث حسن غَرِيب

‘Abd Allah ibn Busr reported that a man said, ‘Messenger of God, the prescriptions of Islam have become many for me. Tell me something I can hold fast to.’ He replied, ‘Let your tongue remain moist with the remembrance of God.’ Al-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah transmitted it. Al-Tirmidhi said: ‘This is a hasan gharib hadith.’ The Arabic source marks it as not studied by al-Albani.
