Does a Muslim earn the reward for the market supplication if they pass through a covered market or its parking lot by car, or is it necessary to enter among the shops to obtain the reward?

The authenticity of the hadith (definition) regarding the virtue of remembering Allah in the marketplace is disputed. The hadith does not include the case of the market being closed. The authentic narrations of the hadith speak of remembering Allah in the bustling market where goods are sold, when people are heedless and preoccupied. This is explained by the fact that one who remembers Allah in the market is like a mujahid among the raiders. Ibn Sirin used to enter the market at midday and remember Allah because it was "a time of heedlessness." The commentators of hadith did not address the necessity of entering the market or sufficing with remembrance at its entrance. However, it was reported that Qutaybah ibn Muslim used to come to the market gate, recite the dhikr, and then depart.
