Remember Allah Ta’ala in abundance

Is this Hadith authentic?

Sayyiduna Abu Sa’id Al Khudri (radiyallahu ‘anhu) narrated that Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “Do a lot of remembrance of Allah until they say, ‘He is insane.’”

Answer:

Imam Ahmad (rahimahullah) and other Muhaddithun have recorded this narration. Imam Hakim and Ibn Hibban (rahimahumallah) have declared the Hadith authentic.

(Musnad Ahmad, vol. 3 pg. 68, Sahih Ibn Hibban; Al Ihsan, Hadith: 817 and Mustadrak Hakim, vol. 1 pg. 499)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
