Chapter 229: About the Virtue of Mentioning Allah in Gatherings

Translation: Allah said:

Translation: " And keep yourself (O Muhammad (peace be upon him)) patiently with those who call on their Lord (i.e. your companions who remember their Lord with glorification, praising in prayers, and other righteous deeds) morning and afternoon, seeking His Pleasure; and let not your eyes. overlook them, desiring the pomp and glitter of the life of the world; and obey not him whose heart We have made heedless of Our Remembrance, and who follows his own lusts, and whose affair (deeds) has been lost. * " (18: 28)

Translation: 783. Narrated Abu-Horaira: ' Allah's Messenger ﷺ said: “ Allah has some angels who look for those who remember (glorify the Praises of) Allah on the roads and paths. And when they find some people remembering Allah, they call each other, saying: ' Come to the object of your pursuit. (He added) Then the angels encircle them with their wings up to the nearest heaven (sky of the world). Their Lord asks them (the angels) although He knows better than them: ' What do My slaves say? " The angels reply: ' They say: " Subhân Allah, Allah Akbar, Alhamd Lillâh (How perfect Allah is, Allah is the greatest, and All praise is for Allah), ' and they glorify you, ' Allah then says: Have they seen Me? " The angels reply: No '! By Allah, they haven't seen You. ' Allah says: ' How would it have been if they had seen Me? " The angels reply: ' If they had seen You, they would worship You more devoutly and remember You more deeply, and declare Your freedom from any resemblance to anything more often. Allah says: " What do they ask Me for? ' The angels reply: " They ask You for Paradise. ' Allah says (to the angels): ' Have they seen it? " The angels say: ' No! By Allah, O Lord! They have not seen it. ' Allah says: " How would it have been if they had seen it? ' The angels say: ' If they had seen it, they would have a greater greed for it and would seek it with greater zeal and would have a greater desire for it. ' Allah. says: ' From what do they seek refuge? ' The angels reply: ' They seek refuge from the Hellfire. ' Allah says: ' Have they seen it? " The angels say: ' No By Allah, O Lord! They have not seen it. ' Allah says: ' How it would have been if they had seen it? ' The angels say: ' If they had seen it they would flee from it with extreme speed and would have extreme fear of it. Then Allah says: ' I make you witnesses that I have forgiven them. ' (Allah's Messenger added) One of the angels would say: ' There was so and so amongst them and he was not one of them, but he had just come for another purpose. ' Allah would say: ' These are those people whose companions will not be reduced to misery. 1997 " (رَضِيَ اللّٰهُ عَنْهُ : 4170.Bukhari)

Translation: 784. Narrated Abu-Horaira Allah's Messenger said: " People will not sit in an assembly in which they remember Allah without the angels surrounding them, mercy covering them, and Allah mentioning them among those who are with Him. " (Muslim)

Translation: 785. Narrated Abu-Waqid Al-Leithy رَضِيَ اللّٰهُ عَنْهُ : While Allah's Messenger was sitting in the mosque with some people, three men came in. Two of them came up to Allah's Messenger and the third one went away. (The narrator added:) The two people stood in front of Allah's Messenger

Translation: (for a while) and then one of them found a place in the circle and sat there while the other sat behind them (the gathering), and the third one went away. When Allah's Messenger ﷺ finished his teaching, he said: “ Shall I tell you about these three people? One of them gave himself to Allah, so Allah took him into His Grace and Mercy and accommodated him, the second felt shy from Allah, so Allah sheltered Him in His Mercy (and did not punish him), while the third turned his face away from Allah and went away, so Allah turned His Face from him (likewise). " (1: 660.Buk hari)
