The answer

The narration reported from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), with the wording: "The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) preferred the hidden dhikr (remembrance of Allah) that the guardian angels do not hear by seventy-fold..." is very weak, due to Mu'awiyah ibn Yahya As-Sadafi, who is very weak in . It was also narrated from her as a mawquf (وقف - a narration attributed to a Companion and not directly to the Prophet) with similar wordings, but with weak chains of transmission as well. Thus, there is nothing to prove a specific virtue for a particular type of dhikr called "the hidden dhikr."
