This is narration is recorded in Kitabuz Zuhd of Imam Ahmad.

عن أبي الدرداء قال: إن الذين ألسنتهم رطبة بذكر الله يدخل أحدهم الجنة وهو يضحك

 

Note: Although this Hadith has been reported as the statement of Sayyiduna Abud Darda (radiyallahu ‘anhu), the nature of the narration is not such that could be said by applying logic. It will therefore be understood that he heard this from Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) (مرفوع حكما).
