The example of one who remembers Allah Ta’ala in the marketplace

Could you provide a reference for this statement?

Humayd ibn Hilal Al ‘Adawi (rahimahullah) said: “The one who remembers Allah Ta’ala in the marketplace is like a green tree in the middle of several dead trees.”

Answer

Imam Abu Nu’aym (rahimahullah) has recorded this statement of Nu’aym ibn Hilal (rahimahullah), a Tabi’i.

(Hilyatul Awliya, vol. 2 pg. 252)
