Sitting and Reflecting, Isn't the Big Thing Meditation?

Abu Dardal-A'amil was asked by some of the Ta'a-B'arim what his most prominent act of worship was. Most of his worship was sitting, and contemplating, and reflecting. He once said that to contemplate for an hour is better than praying at night. Abu Dardat would spend his time doing tasbihu with Allah,. SubhanAllah, Alhamdulillah, Walayhi wa lah, Al-Aqul.
