Hadith 1447 - Bab 247 (The Excellence of Gathering in which Allah is Remembered)
Chapter 16 (The Book of the Remembrance of Allah)

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said, "Allah, the Exalted, has teams of angels who go about on the roads seeking those who remember Allah. When they find some people remembering Allah they call to one another and say, 'Come to what you are looking for;' and they surround them with their wings till the space between them and the lowest sky is fully covered. Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, asks them (although He is best informed about every thing): 'What are my slave saying?' They say: 'They are glorifying Your Tasbih, Tahmid, Takbir, Tamjid, (i.e., they were declaring Your Perfectness, praising, remembering the Greatness and Majesty of Allah).' He asks: 'Have they seen Me?' They reply, 'No, indeed, they have not seen You.' He asks: 'How would they act if they were to see Me?' Thereupon they reply: 'If they were to see You, they would engage more earnestly in worshipping and glorifying You and would extol You more.' He would say: 'What do they beg of Me?' They say, 'They beg You for Your Jannah.' Allah says, 'Have they seen My Jannah?' They say, 'No, our Rubb.' He says: 'How would they act if they were to see My Jannah?' They reply, 'Were they to see it, they would more intensely eager for it.' They (the angels) say, 'They seek Your Protection.' He asks, 'Against what do they seek My Protection?' They (the angels) say, 'Our Rubb, from the fire of Hell.' (He, the Rubb) says, 'Have they seen the fire of Hell?' They say, 'No. By Your Honour, they have not seen it.' He says: 'How would they act if they were to see My Fire?' They say: 'If they were to see it, they would more earnest in being away from it and fearing it. They beg of Your forgiveness.' He says: 'I call you to witness that I hereby grant pardon to them and confer upon them what they ask for; and grant them protection against what they seek protection from.' One of the angels says: 'Our Rubb, there is amongst them such and such slave who does not belong to the assembly of those who are participating in Your remembrance. He passed by them and sat down with them.' He says: 'I also grant him pardon because they are the people by virtue of whom their associates will not be unfortunate'."

(The narration in Muslim is also the same with minor changes in wordings).

Selon Abou Hourayra (das), le Messager de Dieu (bsdl) a dit: «Dieu le Très-Haut a des Anges qui parcourent les routes à la recherche des cercles d"évocation de Dieu. Dès qu"ils trouvent des gens en train d"évoquer Dieu honoré et glorifié, ils s"appellent les uns les autres: «Venez à l"objet de vos recherches». Ils étendent sur eux leurs ailes jusqu"au ciel inférieur. Leur Seigneur leur demande (et II sait mieux qu"eux): «Que disent Mes esclaves». Ils disent: «Ils Te glorifient, Te purifient, proclament Ta grandeur, Ta louange et Ta gloire». Il dit: «Est-ce qu"ils M"ont jamais vu?» Ils disent: «Non, par Dieu. Ils ne T"ont jamais vu». Il dit: «Que eraient-ils donc s"ils Me voyaient?» Ils disent: «S"ils Te voyaient ils mettraient encore plus d"ardeur à T"adorer, à Te louer et à Te glorifier». Il dit: «Que demandent-ils?» Ils disent: «Ils Te demandent le Paradis». Il dit: «Est-ce qu"ils l"ont amais vu?» Ils disent: «Non, par Dieu. Ils ne l"ont jamais vu». Il dit: «Que erait-ce s"ils l"avaient vu?» Ils disent: «S"ils l"avaient vu, ils y tiendraient encore pus, le demanderaient avec plus de force et le désireraient avec plus d"ardeur». Il dit: «Contre quoi demandent-ils Ma protection?» Ils disent: «Contre l"Enfer». Il dit: «L"ont-ils jamais vu?» Ils disent: «Non, par Dieu. Ils ne l"ont jamais vu». Il dit: «Que serait-ce donc s"ils l"avaient vu?» Ils disent: «S"ils l"avaient vu ils le fuiraient encore plus et le craindraient davantage». Il dit: «Je vous prends à témoins que Je les ai absous». L"un des Anges dit: «II y a parmi eux untel qui ne fait pas partie de leur cercle. Il y est seulement venu pour une affaire le concernant». Il dit: «Ils représentent le cercle idéal et celui qui leur tient compagnie ne saurait être misérable».

Hadith 1448 - Bab 247 (The Excellence of Gathering in which Allah is Remembered)
Chapter 16 (The Book of the Remembrance of Allah)

Abu Hurairah and Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) 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."

[Muslim].

Selon lui et selon Abou Sa"id (das), le Messager de Dieu (bsdl) a dit: «Aussitôt que des gens s"asseoient pour évoquer Dieu, les Anges les entourent, la miséricorde de Dieu les recouvre et la sérénité descend sur eux. Dieu les évoque aussi parmi ceux qui vivent auprès de Lui». (Rapporté par Moslem)

Hadith 1449 - Bab 247 (The Excellence of Gathering in which Allah is Remembered)
Chapter 16 (The Book of the Remembrance of Allah)

Abu Waqid Al-Harith bin 'Auf (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) was sitting in the mosque with his Companions when three people came to him. Two of them stepped forward to the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) and the third went away. Those two men stood by the side of Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him). One of them found a space in the circle and he filled it, while the other one sat behind him. When the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) finished, he said, "Shall I not inform you about these three people? One of them sought refuge with Allah and Allah gave him refuge; the second one felt shy and Allah showed kindness to his shyness (and so he was accommodated in that meeting), and the last one averted, and so Allah turned away His Attention from him."

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Selon Hâreth Ibn "Awf (das), le Messager de Dieu (bsdl), un jour qu"il était assis à la mosquée en compagnie de gens, vit venir vers lui trois hommes. Deux d"entre eux se dirigèrent vers le Messager de Dieu (bsdl) et le troisième s"en alla. Les deux premiers se tinrent debout devant le Messager de Dieu (bsdl). L"un d"eux vit un espace vide dans le cercle et alla s"y asseoir. Le deuxième s"assit derrière les autres. Quant au troisième, il tourna simplement le dos et s"en alla. Quand le Messager de Dieu (bsdl) eut terminé son discours, il dit: «Voulez-vous que je vous renseigne sur ces trois? L"un d"eux a cherché refuge auprès de Dieu et Dieu le lui donna. Le deuxième a été empêché par sa pudeur de déranger les autres et Dieu a ressenti de la pudeur à son égard. Quant au troisième, il tourna le dos et Dieu lui tourna le Sien».

Hadith 1450 - Bab 247 (The Excellence of Gathering in which Allah is Remembered)
Chapter 16 (The Book of the Remembrance of Allah)

Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Mu'awiyah (May Allah be pleased with him) came to an assembly in the mosque and asked them: "What has made you sit together?" They replied, "We are sitting here to remember Allah." He said, "I adjure you by Allah to tell me whether nothing else has made you to sit together." They replied: "By Allah! We are sitting only to remember Allah." Then he said, "I did not adjure you because I suspected you. No one of my rank in the eyes of the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) is the narrator of so few traditions as I am. The fact is that the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) went out to a circle of his Companions and said, 'What has made you sit there?' When they replied that they are sitting together to remember Allah and to praise Him for guiding them to Islam and bestowing favours on them, he (Peace be upon him) said, 'I adjure you by Allah to tell me that nothing else has made you sit together.' On their reply that there was certainly no other purpose, he (Peace be upon him) said, 'I did not adjure you because I suspected you, but Jibril (Gabriel) came to me and told me that Allah was talking proudly of you to the angels."'

[Muslim].

Abou Sa"id Al Khoudri (das) rapporte: «Mou"àwiya (das) sortit un jour et trouva à la mosquée un cercle de gens qui évoquaient Dieu. Il leur dit: «Dans quel but êtes-vous réunis?» Ils dirent: «Nous nous sommes réunis pour évoquer Dieu». Il dit: «Par Dieu, est-ce là seulement votre but?» Ils dirent: «C"est là seulement notre but». Il dit: «Je tiens à vous dire que je ne vous ai pas fait jurer par Dieu parce que je doutais de votre bonne foi. Nul dans ma position par rapport au Messager de Dieu (bsdl) n"est plus avare que moi (par circonspection et scrupule) à rapporter les Hadiths. Le Messager de Dieu (bsdl) sortit un matin et vit un cercle de gens évoquant Dieu. Il leur dit: «Qu"est-ce qui vous a fait réunir?» Ils dirent: «Nous nous sommes assis pour évoquer Dieu et pour Le louer de nous avoir guidés à l"Islam et pour les bienfaits dont II nous a comblés». Il dit: «Vous ne vous êtes assis que dans ce but?» Ils dirent: «Par Dieu, ce n"est que dans ce but que nous nous sommes assis». Il dit: «Je tiens à vous dire que je ne vous ai pas fait jurer par Dieu parce que je doutais de votre bonne foi. Mais Gabriel est venu m"annoncer que Dieu Se vantait de vous auprès des Anges».
