Riyad as-Salihin, 1448
Abu Hurairah and Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "When a group of people assemble for the remembrance of Allah, the angels surround them (with their wings), (Allah's) mercy envelops them, Sakinah, or tranquillity descends upon them and Allah makes a mention of them before those who are near Him." <b>[Muslim]</b>.
وعنه وعن أبي سعيد رضي الله عنهما قالا: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم:
لا يقعد قوم يذكرون الله عز وجل إلا حفتهم الملائكة، وغشيتهم الرحمة ونزلت عليهم السكينة، وذكرهم الله فيمن عنده
((رواه مسلم)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) The angels surround the gatherings of Dhikr and tranquility descends upon them. They are profusely showered with mercy due to the abundant blessing they involve.<br>
2) Among the greatest gatherings of Dhikr is to assemble to study the Qur’an and Hadith, in terms of text and meaning.<br>
3) One reaps what he sows, so whoever mentions Allah Almighty with Dhikr, Allah mentions him.
