Riyad as-Salihin, 818
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Whoever sits in a place where he does not remember Allah (SWT), he will suffer loss and incur displeasure of Allah; and whoever lies down (to sleep) in a place where he does not remember Allah, he will suffer sorrow and incur displeasure of Allah." <b>[Abu Dawud]</b>.
وعن أبى هريرة رضى الله عنه ، عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: " من قعد مقعداً لم يذكر الله تعالى فيه،كانت عليه من الله تعالى ترة، ومن اضطجع مضجعاً لا يذكر الله تعالى فيه، كانت عليه من الله ترة" ((رواه أبو داود بإسناد حسن)). "الترة" بكسر التاء المثناة من فوق، وهي: النقص، وقيل: التبعة.

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) A person should frequently remember Allah Almighty while standing, sitting, or lying on his side. All people’s deeds are recorded for them.<br>
2) Gatherings are perfected when Allah Almighty is remembered in them. As for gatherings where Allah is not mentioned, they are but a source of regret for those attending. And what about our gatherings today! They abound in gossip and backbiting and mostly lack any remembrance of our Lord.
