Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace be upon him) said: "By Him in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad (peace be upon him)! Sitting with people who supplicate to Allah and remember Him from the Fajr prayer until sunrise is more beloved to me than freeing four slaves from among the descendants of Isma'il, or that I free their like from Asr until sunset."
