Riyad as-Salihin, 836
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "If anyone sits in a gathering where he does not remember Allah, he will bring grief upon himself (on the Day of Resurrection), and he who lies down in a place where he does not remember Allah, will bring grief upon himself (on the Day of Resurrection)." <b>[Abu Dawud]</b>.
وعنه عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: "من قعد مقعداً لم يذكر الله تعالى فيه كانت عليه من الله ترة، ومن اضطجع مضجعاً لم يذكر الله فيه كانت عليه من الله ترة" ((رَوَاهُ أبُو دَاوُدَ)). وقد سبق قريباً، وشرحنا "الترة" فيه.

<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br>
1) As he attends a gathering, a person should engage in remembrance of Allah and invocation of Allah’s blessings upon His Prophet; otherwise, the gathering will be a source of regret for him.<br>
2) Remembrance of Allah makes gatherings good and hearts tranquil. His remembrance is cure, while the remembrance of people is a malaise.<br>
<br>
<b>Benefit:</b><br>
Imam Al-Hasan al-Basri said in his comment on the following verse: {And they spend out of what We have provided for them},<br>
“One of the best types of spending is the giving of knowledge.” Another tradition says:<br>
“The most excellent gift is a good word, which a person hears and then presents to his fellow Muslim.” Abu al-Dardā’ is reported to have said: “No charity would a person give better than admonition that he gives to his fellow believers, who then disperse after receiving this benefit from him.” [Majmū‘ al-Fatāwa]
