حدثنا عبد الله بن محمد، قال‏:‏ حدثنا ابو عامر العقدي، قال‏:‏ حدثنا عبد الرحمن بن ابي الموالي قال‏:‏ اخبرني عبد الرحمن بن ابي عمرة الانصاري قال‏:‏ اوذن ابو سعيد الخدري بجنازة، قال‏:‏ فكانه تخلف حتى اخذ القوم مجالسهم، ثم جاء معه، فلما رآه القوم تسرعوا عنه، وقام بعضهم عنه ليجلس في مجلسه، فقال‏:‏ لا، إني سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول‏:‏ ”خير المجالس اوسعها“، ثم تنحى فجلس في مجلس واسع‏.‏
It is narrated from Abdur Rahman bin Abi Amrah Ansari (may Allah have mercy on him), he said that when Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) was informed of a funeral, he was delayed, until the people, waiting, sat down in their respective places. Then he came later; when the people saw him, they quickly moved aside from the front and several people stood up so that they could seat him in their place. He said: I will not sit. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "The best gathering is the one which is spacious." Then he moved to the side and sat in the spacious part of the gathering.
